Wow, I was not expecting this! It almost feels like mid winter.


Madarao this morning is reporting an impressive 20-30cm of fresh snow and there's certainly a nice layer of fresh snow on my car as well. All in the spirit of this 'strange season' perhaps!


The slopes will have had a right good refresh this morning though so what more can I say? I'm off out to enjoy it.


This may well (and very probably) be the last snow of the season as we have clearer weather forecast starting tomorrow, so a few more cm would be excellent.


And tomorrow should be fun as well for all you weekend visitors!
