Morning from Madarao.


More snow!


The resort was reporting 10+cm about an hour ago; I am measuring 15cm.


Snow is forecast to be falling until this afternoon. Earlier on the sun looked like it might break through the clouds but it has been blocked off again and it's generally limited visibility out on the slopes. Nice snow though, so worth checking out.


Forecasts also show clearer conditions due from tomorrow for a few days - fingers crossed keeping cold - and then more snow clouds moving back over the region come Sunday.


Definitely an agreeable weather pattern. Let's hope it keeps up!
