I have a fine layer of fresh snow to report to you this morning. The resort is reporting 20-40cm of fresh and I am measuring 26cm.
Nice.
It's just cloudy at the moment but more snow is due at times during the day today (and tomorrow), with perhaps the sun getting to shine through the clouds at times too.
In fact right now there's a bit of sun shining down through my window.
A fine morning, I would say and I know where I'm heading!
