Good morning.


I'm going to try and avoid the feeling that I woke up very early morning to hear rain, but am happier to be able to report at least some fresh snow this morning.


The resort is reporting 12-15cm of fresh snow on the upper areas and up to 5cm on lower base areas.


Top tip - head to the top!


I'm trying not to get too excited about that heavy snowfall that is sitting there pretty on the forecast. Incoming from Thursday.
