Ah yes this looks more like our beloved Nozzle!
A nice new fresh layer of snow on the ground and snow falling as I got up this morning. 20cm I measure it and that is pretty much what the resort is reporting top to bottom, though I would imagine (and hope) for some more than that up on the top slopes.
It's a good cold morning too.
Feels like winter. (As it should feel at this time of the year!)
Some more snow due today but it should ease off later on and then after perhaps clearer skies to start the day tomorrow more snow is forecast to be falling by night time tomorrow. Doesn't look like it'll continue much beyond Friday on the current forecasts, so we just hope for as much as possible.
One day can make a big difference and that is what we are seeing this morning.
Time to strap on the skis!
