Good morning.


A little snow overnight again and once again a sunny start with blue skies.


There was snow on the forecast for today, but it doesn't look like it is going to happen. Not any time soon anyway. Maybe later again.


We're expecting clearer skies than snow over the next few, with a return to decent snowfall sometime on Saturday and into the early week.


It's keeping nice and cold too - wrap up well and enjoy!
