This morning there is a lot of cloud around, but there's some blue ski to see, too, and the sun is out. It is thankfully much calmer than yesterday.
I have asked Naski about the potential for decent snowfall later on yesterday into Thursday... but even Naski doesn't know what will happen. We will just have to wait and see.
