Morning from Madarao.


More sunshine and blue skies (with a bit of think cloud) this morning over our mountain. We did get some fresh snow with the clouds moving in and delivery yesterday. This morning the resort is reporting 5cm and I am actually measuring 12cm.


Sun is probably going to be the main feature of the weather over the next few days. Saturday is due to be mild but it be getting cold by night time with fresh snow due before my report on Sunday... and we could be on for a decent amount too as we enter next week.


A mix of sunshine and regular fresh snow with a snow storm fairly regularly - sounds like a good pattern that. Let's hope it keeps on going right through the next few months.


Should be another really fun morning.
