Morning from Madarao.


It is going to be a lovely morning. That's what forecasts say, and that's what it feels like too.


Some early morning cloud, but it is already bright.


The next snowfall is due late on Monday and the snow clouds should be over the region for a large part of the week, hopefully delivering some fresh snowy goodness.
