It's sunny as I write with patches of cloud. It should remain like this for most of the day with wind (where it occurs higher up and not that strong today) coming down.
There is a chance if very light snow later in the day.
Enjoy as tomorrow will be foggy with a steady fall of snow with quite a bit forecasted for tomorrow night. Those over-celebrating tonight will therefore not need to rush tomorrow morning!

- Summit: 115cm
