Not a whole lot of snow to report yesterday in this area. Kagura is just reporting a dusting overnight.

This morning we have lovely clear skies once again - clear blue and mild temperatures this morning... currently about 5 degrees and a high of around 9 degrees is likely later on today, perhaps even hitting doube figures. More of the same tomorrow as well and even warmer temperatures likely. Some forecasts even saying it might get as warm as 15 degrees. Ouch!

Snow should be back on Saturday though it is looking like lower down at town level it might well be rain.

Top tip - go high!
