Got to post an early report this morning before the info is in from the resorts, so the below info isn't updated today.

After that warm day yesterday and temps dipping to around 6 degrees overnight in the village, it's already over 10 degrees now and we're going to see things warm up once again to over twenty in the afternoon. It's another bright start to the day and likely to stay sunny for the duration.

We're going to see things get colder tomorrow with rain likely overnight and temps dropping as the day goes on, might even get to be cold by tomorrow night...
