It’s always reassuring when the first (proper) snows arrive, especially after such a long hot summer. The forecast is predicting over 1m of snow will fall this week high on the mountan. It’s already looking fairly white up high. If you get a warm feeling inside when at the sight of snow then let me draw your attention to the following links.
