Good morning from Madarao.


Can you believe it? Today is the last Saturday of the season here (for Madarao Kogen anyway, Tangram plans to continue on until next weekend).


I wish winter went slower. (And there was more snow!!)


But anyway, we're going into this last weekend in pretty good conditions thanks to the fresh snow that fell. A few more cm fell after I posted my report before easing off yesterday... and no more snow overnight.


This morning the clouds are mostly gone and there's some beautiful blue skies above us and the sun is out doing it's thing. Still cold, but it will warm up a little during the day, and probably a bit more still during the day tomorrow.


Lots of sunshine on the forecast right through until the last day of the season for Madarao on Thursday.
