Good morning from Madarao,


It's a beautiful start to the day with clear blue skies. With just a month left in the season and the clock ticking, I feel the need to make the most of it.


Quite a chilly start but due to warm up during the day, and be warmer still tomorrow. Temperature numbers in mid single digits.


(The snow I have in my report this morning is from post-report yesterday morning, by the way).


I hope you have a good Sunday wherever you may be.
