It was a really fine day in the region yesterday, but this morning there's a lot more grey cloud around.

There is a bit of blue sky still on show, but most of it is covered with the clouds. And while nothing is falling from the skies at the moment, it is expected to later on. With mild conditions forecast for this afternoon in particular - rising to around 6C - we might get rained on.

The good news though is that it should be snowing up on the open areas of the resort, and should be turning into snow down here at base sometime tomorrow as well. So fingers crossed.
