Snowfall at base this season 22cm

Well, we have had snow. Not as much as we'd like but there's snow on the ground down to base. The ski area is reporting 5cm on the upper areas, though I'd guess there's more than that. Whatever.
Anyway it should be snowing today but easing off so I doubt we can expect much more. Beyond today there's a few more days of that clearer kind of weather (it shouldn't be quite as warm as it has been) with cold and snow due back on Friday. That looks quite promising.
Information checked each morning. All subject to change.
