Morning from Madarao.


The snow did ease off and just a bit of leftovers to report.


There was still some cloud about earlier on this morning but since then it has increasingly been blue sky - it's going to be a great morning, I can tell. By this evening it should be cloudy once again with snow due overnight, but it might just be a night shift with more clearer weather due during the day tomorrow again. And snow on Tuesday.
