Oh yes, it is a good morning.
20+cm of fresh snow is always very good of course, though it's a bit wild out there at the moment. Enough for some lifts to be affected - see below.
Should be fun if you like braving the conditions. If not, things should be calmer come tomorrow and we may get some sun too.
There's a return to more snowfall from Thursday though so we are looking at further top-ups.
Visibility limited today; take extra care and know where you're going.....
