After the very warm day yesterday - temperatures hitting 10 degrees in the afternoon - and a mild overnight, it's not quite as warm this morning.... around +1C at 9am with a high of around +5C forecast for the village later on and we might get some rain today as well (hopefully that will be snow at higher elevations).

Yesterday may well have been the peak of the warmth for the moment but we are expecting the milder temperatures to continue at least into early week. I wish I could but I can't say there's a whole lot of snow on the forecast for the coming week either.

Spring-like snow conditions at the moment, especially on lower slopes, so come expecting those and there's of course fun to be had out there. It goes out saying that we would all like a new refresh to get things kicking again.
