Good morning.

Hey, how about this - might I be able to report some new fresh cm of snow tomorrow morning?

I may well be able to, and wouldn't that be a very nice bonus for mid April. Different forecasts seem to be predicting different things, so let's see what happens. I will of course report to you in the morning.

For now, it's kind of wet snowing in higher areas and wet down in town with lots of cloud and limited visibility.

I need to get this report up now so please check with the resorts for the up to date on lift operations.

Until tomorrow!
