This morning started off with cloud and fog but is now sunny which is a surprise. Only the summit has a cap of cloud which may drift off.
Maybe the cloud will come back so enjoy higher up while it lasts.
The chopped-powder of yesterday has been groomed, but, being so soft will get chopped-up progressively. Powdery on the sides.
