A beautiful New Year's Day with some great views, excellent conditions and warm temperatures.
Another great sunrise again yesterday morning.
At 2260 meters the temperature was -1.5, winds were 20-45 KPH form the ESE. At 1650 meters the temperature was -2, no new snow recorded. In the valley it is -9.
For the forecast we can expect unsettled conditions until the high strengthens one more time for latter this morning. A couple of weak fronts are moving towards us. We could see 3 cm of snow by Friday morning, some flurries for early Saturday morning with snow up to 6-8 cm by Saturday Afternoon.
