Posted on Wednesday 6th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


There is some fresh snow to report this morning from Madarao. Just 4cm outside my place and Madarao Kogen is this morning stating 5-10cm of fresh on the slopes. Better than 0cm!


It is colder as well this morning.


There's quite a lot of cloud around but also some blue skies.


More snow is on the way with the weekly forecast still tempting us with the promise of snow tonight and tomorrow, as we get into the weekend and Sunday/Monday as well. I like the looks of 'moderate snowfall' on the forecast; 'heavy snow' is even better. Let's hope it happens.


For now that new snowfall has probably filled over a few patches but of course not enough to transform the situation.
