After the wet of yesterday, this morning we have another dusting of white down to lower areas. Though, curiously, the ski area isn't reporting any fresh snowfall - even up top.
Cloudy skies around the region as of 8am with the sun shining through, so it is quite bright in places.
It's due to start snowing late today and through the weekend.
