Good morning from Naeba.


Apologies for the report missing yesterday. It was a bit hectic. Lots of snow overnight yesterday morning and some during the day yesterday.


No more fresh this morning and things are calmer. We might even get some sunshine today and relatively mild conditions... but, there's more snow beyond that. And probably as soon as tonight.


So there should be more snow to report tomorrow.
