Good morning.
A bit of snow this morning to report but it's calm and fine now with a mix of cloud and blue skies and the sun casting shadows as the clouds move quickly. Feels like it s going to be a fine day though the chance of some light snow at times remains.
Clearer skies are forecast for the weekend.
It will probably be a busy weekend, it being a 3 day long one - Monday is a national holiday.
