Morning from Madarao and Christmas greetings to all!


Just about, anyway. My excuse for being so late this morning is that I had to welcome some visiting relatives from the train station this morning.


They were most pleased when they got up here, saw all the snow and the sun shining down on them. And indeed, what a beautiful sight.


About another 10cm from later in the day yesterday to add to the ongoing snowfall numbers!


More snow is due to be falling by the end of tomorrow.


The very nice weather patterns look set to continue.
