Good morning everyone.


It was relatively mild overnight and it is wet early on this morning, but we are expecting some colder conditions and snow today and tomorrow. Let's see what we get.


Ski areas are planning / hoping to open on Saturday 29th November. That's not long off now, so snow is required.


Obviously.


Fingers crossed!
