Technical Difficulties

My computer died last night. After a short illness which I thought I had treated, my computer died. A post mortem today found the mother board had had a stroke. Thanks to Jaxster, I have managed to download some photos and put up this make-shift report.

The rain affected snow base of Sunday was deep frozen on Sunday night resulting in a very firm base. Light dustings have topped up each morning but today the r**n returned and has damaged the snow, most notably around the lower levels away from manmade areas, where grass can been seen.

The biggest event of the week was the annual 'Let It Snow' party at Eagle's Nest Restaurant on Monday night. A wonderful night thanks to hosts Dave and Penny, Ross Ward and his guitar, the staff, lifties and all who attended.

Wednesday morning before the rain

Snow is forecast tomorrow afternoon. I will be away collecting a new mother board and so I expect a reasonable fall.

Happy Birthday Kerry - we await your annual dump.

Hopefully I will be back at the wheel of my old beast by Friday.
