An early report this morning with 25cm more fresh snow to report since yesterday around town.
We are due a cloudy day according to forecasts. (Perhaps it might be one of those days when it unexpectedly clears up? That would be good).
Tomorrow is due to be clearer and sunny from early on, with Saturday due more of the same. Let's hope it keeps cold.
Forecasts for early next week are looking good for more fresh snow, which is great to see.
