Hello from Madarao.


We have got some fresh snow. It's a modest amount, indeed, but we'll take it and hope that forests are right when they tell us to expect more today and particularly tonight.


Madarao is reporting 10cm, I measured 7cm.


Colder too.


As I write this, Madarao is shrouded in cloud though there is even some blue sky showing through on the Tangram side. That is temporary, hopefully.
