It feels cold out this morning!
More decent snow to add this morning, adding up the numbers from mid-afternoon to this morning we're looking at over 40cm on the upper areas of the resort. Less so down below but I have measured a respectable 18cm since my report yesterday.
It is one of those mornings when visibility is better up top than down in the village where low cloud/fog is making things look pretty thick. Up top better visibility according to the webcams and generally cloudy conditions - and cloudy is what the forecast is for today.
Maybe some snow tomorrow though don't expect much. There may also be some sunshine in the mix over the weekend.
Lots of fresh snow around though, so should be excellent for the upcoming long weekend.
