It was about 11am before the cloudy skies parted yesterday morning, with some light snow falling in places and limited visibility until then. Blue skies started to appear beyond then, though.
And we start this Wednesday morning with beautiful clear blue skies and sunshine.
We still expect some snow overnight tonight and let's hope that we can get a decent amount... as there's no snow due at least until early next week beyond tomorrow.
Note that there is a chance of strong winds tonight and tomorrow morning; perhaps enough to affect some lifts tomorrow.
Sunshine is currently forecast for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Snow tonight please!
