Morning from Madarao.


A great start to the year yesterday.


The weather changed during the day with a return of snow clouds by night time and this morning there's around 10cm of fresh on the ground.


The next few days should see more snowfall - perhaps not intense as last week - and then on Friday some sunshine is forecast. I'm planning on an early report / early start that day!
