Serious about the snow? Here it's so average I haven't yet bothered. Was forecast for 6 days of snow earlier in the week. We got flakes to 200m but didn't settle, followed by rain.
Forecast changed to only 2 days of snow. Now halfway through the second forecast, it's between 11-7C and raining.

Commercial fields have been relying on artificial snow. I haven't heard how the club fields are going.

Yeah, heaps of snow ! Nice powdery fresh snow, very cold front came through last week and it snowed very nicely for several days. At one point I found myself chest deep in some snow - best season for years. I'll post some pics in the pics thread later !
