A good morning to you.
And thank you, Santa!
We have fresh snow, hurray! About 20cm or so and more due today. So I should have more to report tomorrow, though we can't expect it to continue much beyond today. (Let's assess the situation again tomorrow).
Wind and visibility are issues at the start of the day and quite possibly for the whole day.
Still, both ski areas appear to be opening, though lift ops might be affected.
