I wasn't able to post earlier this morning due to some server technical issues going on. Here I am, better late than never!
Some snow from yesterday before it eased off.
Today has turned into a cloudy one. We started with some very cold conditions early morning (down to around -9C as of 7am), but it has been getting warmer and is currently around zero at base.
Temps are expected to rise further this afternoon and overnight too, and we might have to suffer some rain as we sleep.
Sometime early tomorrow morning though it should be getting colder and be snowing again.
We might have to watch out for strong wind tomorrow, too.
