I think we were expecting more snow than we got yesterday; it just didn't amount to much. I have just a little to add from after my report yesterday. Though the resort was reporting 8cm up top yesterday afternoon.


This morning is a clearer start to the day and the sun is out. Lovely.


National holiday today.
