Posted on Wednesday 7th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


We couldn't escape the rain yesterday unfortunately, but happily it fairly quickly turned into snowfall and this morning theses a nice (up to) 20cm or so of white fluff on top to freshen things up out on the mountain. Much colder as well which is most welcome after the mild conditions we had yesterday. And less wind too.


Forecast isn't for heavy snow continuing more like the snow easing off again and a mix of weather conditions over the next few days. The important thing being that it should be remaining cold through the week.


Event alert! Friday 10th January, if you are in Madarao look out for the Fire Festival at Madarao.
