Hello from Madarao.


Don't know why but the report that I wrote this morning didn't appear. Probably my mistake, but anyway this is a re-write. Sorry about that.


When I first came to writing the report, I was celebrating fresh snow and light snow was still coming down with a lot of cloud.


Come lunchtime there's increasing blue sky around and the sun is out when not being hidden by moving cloud.


You can probably see on the images below... not many people about.


Forecasts don't show much chance of snow into next week with temperatures warming a bit come Friday.


It's keeping fairly chilly today.
