Ah, fresh snow. Up to 15cm of it on top areas, according to the ski area.
It is snowing now and should hopefully be for the day. Heavy at times, too. That sounds good. Naski looks pleased, though would prefer the temps to be lower. The snow falling is great, but it isn't feeling particularly cold.
We might get some more clearer skies during the day tomorrow, but back to snow falling later on and into Friday.
Come on, over here please.
