Morning all.


We are on for some heavy snowfall this weekend. It is snowing and not a huge amount yet until now, but some serious dumpage is due over the next 24+ hours. Big numbers ahoy tomorrow I think. There is a good chance that the planned fireworks tonight will not happen too (will depend on the weather this evening, but I wouldn't expect it to happen).


The Number 1 Gondola seems to be having some problems today and it may well not open at all. Let's quick fixing!
