After my report yesterday of snowfall, this morning I have some more to report. 8cm of it.
And it's good quality stuff too, nice and light. Brilliant!
And that's not all. The forecast is good. More snowfall is due over the weekend and beyond.
Everything is looking good for a quality start this coming Thursday as planned. That's what we like to hear.
Right now it isn't snowing and it's a mix of cloud and blue sky. It might get slightly warmer tomorrow before dropping again for the weekend and that snow.
