Good morning from Madarao.


I have just over 10cm to report this morning, with the ski area itself reporting 10cm as of 8am. Limited visibility early on as the snow continues to fall. Perhaps we can expect it to snow on and off during the day. Local forecasts show the chance of a clearer start to tomorrow morning and the weekend with snow later in the day through Sunday once again. Wind probably will not be an issue so it should be a fine weekend to be out and about (with the bonus of being able to avoid the news!).
