Good morning from Madarao.


Up to around 10cm of snow since yesterday (ski area reporting 5cm) and snow falling with limited visibility at the start of today.


A few more days of this particular cold/snowy front to go (though some forecasts do seem to show the chance of some sun over the weekend at times).


Someone asked why the Myoko Now snowfall numbers are sometimes (often?) larger than here. The very simplest way I can explain that is that the Myoko reporter (who I trust 100%) measures what he/she measures and I measure what I measure. If the numbers are different, and there is more snow falling nearby in Myoko, it is because... there is more snow falling in Myoko.


We're just reporting what we see.


It is not a competition!


By the way, if you are particularly interested in how the snow is falling, there's a snowfall measuring stick on the official Madarao website.
