Brrrrr. It's a cold early morning today, and clear skies too with the sun shining down on us.


I like the sound of 'heavy snow' that some forecasts still say we should get tomorrow night, but it doesn't look like that should last much into Saturday. There's also a cold front due to move in and be with us next week which looks promising.


We should expect sun today and probably tomorrow morning too. Early morning groomers should be really nice.
