Good morning from Madarao.


Forgive me if my reports are a little later over the next couple of days - it's a rather busy time of year with many promises to keep. I'll try to get them up as early as possible though, promise!


Another good 20cm of snow to report to you this morning as we approach the end the year in style and the official snow depth rises to 2m.


There is still a lot of cloud around but the sun is also shining through my windows as we speak. It


The region will probably have some nice calm weather for New Years Eve - sun and warmer conditions likely - before a return to cold and snow from Monday onwards.


All sounds good to me. It's going to be busy busy out there today and tomorrow. Early start tomorrow highly recommended.
