A bit more snow than anticipated last night so everyone is busy clearing it.
After the bad visibility conditions yesterday, it is better today although Paradise and up is very murky and not so clear to see the ground in front.
A bit of wind still around but not like yesterday.
It will continue to snow during the day adding a bit more. Temperatures have eased somewhat and will rise a tad more tomorrow with expected sunny spells in the morning.
