I did say there was a chance of some clearer skies this morning, but it still feels a bit surprising somehow that there's blue sky up there amongst the limited cloud at the moment.
Very pleasant, though very cold and so the snow is keeping good.
Still hoping for a snowy weekend. If you are visiting be prepared for snow, cold (and possibly windy conditions).
