Temperatures down to -9C overnight and as we approach 9am it's around -5C in the village, so nice and winter-like cold. The sun is out this morning so it is going to warm up, perhaps to about +3C this afternoon.

No cm of new snow to report from around the valley this morning.

So yes the sun us out, a bit overcast/hazy in some directions, and some clouds still hanging around the mountain peak backdrop. Just a light wind and so unlike yesterday no disruption to any top lifts.

I should have more snow to report tomorrow morning though which will make another good refresh.
