Morning.


Light snow continued after my report yesterday, but not too much on the ground in terms of cm and resorts do not seem to be reporting it.


A fine early morning with the sun shining through my window, but snow is actually forecast again, so will likely be clouding over sometime during the day.


Looking at the current forecasts, Sunday and Tuesday look to be showing the most potential for decent amounts of fresh snow.
