More snow, hurray, with it still snowing. Seems to have started in the middle of the night, with the ski area already reporting up to 15cm of fresh on the mountain. Not particularly cold, but it shouldn't warm up much today.
From tomorrow (a national holiday), sunny skies are forecast for several days. Temps are going to be rising somewhat, too.
As I said yesterday, there's a fair chance that this snow today might be the last of the season down in the village. Let's enjoying.
