Bright and crisp is how I'd call today, otherwise same ol' same ol' with the sun still an orb behind the clouds.
The road down to the valley are still white which is always a good sign.
Must say that I'm looking forward to the blue skies still on the forecast for tomorrow although, bizarrely, apparently colder.
