At 9am and there's some blue sky and sun in some places not too far away, but it's still snowing here... for now. And it does look like we can expect more snow over the next few days. It will probably be Tuesday when we get properly clear and blue skies for a full day and some milder temps too.
Once again 40cm of snow reported by the ski area since yesterday so there should be lots of untouched loveliness to enjoy out there.
It's cold this morning, so wrap up well.
