Early morning report with snow falling yesterday and this morning, but it seems due to possibly be clearer as the morning progresses today.

We're due a dry period for a few days, bit warm come Saturday and then all being well back to colder temps and a bit of snow around Sunday.

There should be some fresh out there to enjoy today.
