Morning from Naeba.
We woke up to a light dusting of snow today, with 1cm of accumulation at the base.
There is little wind, and the sun is trying to break through the clouds. Visibility is good at the bottom, though more clouds are lingering higher up.
Light snow is expected throughout the day, and with a bit of luck, the next couple of days could bring enough snowfall to make a measurable difference. Fingers crossed!
