Good morning from Naeba everybody.
First up let's recap from yesterday. It was meant to rain in the morning yesterday and begin to snow in the afternoon. As it actually happened we had a clear morning with rain in the afternoon although this turned to snow only after an hour or so.
For today it looks as though we are in for a cold one today. The overcast weather combined with moderate winds on the mountain means that temperatures should remain below freezing the whole day.
It did snow a little earlier on however not too much accumulated.
Conditions on piste will be a little over firm with patches of ice being a fairly common feature.
The weather forecast is still predicting snow every day going on however, there is not really any massive dumps predicted right now.
Resolved!
