Ahhh, everything just feels better in a morning when you get up to see a nice thick layer of fresh snow, doesn't it?


I have just measured 22cm of it and the ski area is recording 20cm new snowfall.


It definitely feels colder too, and we are now expecting snow to continue through Friday.

Visibility seems fairly decent as I write this.
