Another very pleasing amount of fresh snow since yesterday, with the larger part of it coming overnight, even though it was snowing yesterday.
There's even a few breaks in the clouds as I write this.
We might have a few more days of clearer skies but in the last three days of the year more snow is due. And it might be major...
