Good morning from Madarao.


Fresh snow! And a good 30cm or so of it too. That's what we like to see. Always a good number to report. ;)


I'm writing this report now with the sun suddenly shining through all the cloud. Whether that will last or not is a different matter as cloud and snow is forecast for the day. Whatever, it is a cold morning and feel like the end of January. Can you believe that come Monday it will be February? Winter whizzes by so so quickly...


Anyway. Fresh snow with more to come. We can't grumble at that.
