We start the month with snow-loaded tree branches, lots of fresh snow everywhere and the sun shining down on us. It's a beautiful morning.

Yesterday while it was snowing for a large part towards the end of the day there were some clearer skies.

For a while there yesterday it felt like we might miss out on the heavy snow, but it started snowing mid to late morning and by evening there was just over 30cm of it to clear.

The weather this morning so far has been kind of confusing and rather changeable.

This morning it is an all round grey and cloudy start to the day with something of a damp feel with spots of rain in places.

So yesterday snow was falling and it was quite windy, causing some ski areas and lifts to be closed for the day.

The mountains looked spectacular yesterday morning. We enjoyed clear blue skies and sunshine for the morning. Beautiful.

Some snow higher up from mid morning yesterday with rain lower down which thankfully turned into snow later on... and this morning there is a layer of snow on the ground.

Light snow continuing to fall this morning though it should be easing off and stopping this morning.

You might have seen the update mid-morning yesterday as those early morning clear blue skies quickly made way for more snow.

We got more snow during the day yesterday with it easing off later on. 18cm was moved as of 6am.

Yesterday there were blue skies and calm conditions in the morning and into the afternoon too.

It's a lovely morning. A dusting+ of snow overnight though no specific numbers being reported by ski areas.

There was some snow during the day yesterday though it cleared up with some blue sky and sunshine in the afternoon.
