Hey, I thought we were due some sunny skies this morning?
We might well get some during the day, but early morning is starting with cloudy skies and some light snow still falling. And limited visibility up on the top areas.
Forecasts generally still point to clearer skies and sun by lunchtime.
Today should remain quite cold with a warmer day expected tomorrow with the sun (really) expected to be out early on.
There's not a whole lot of fresh snowfall expected in the coming week, but we have fine conditions to enjoy. See you on the slopes.
