I just received a couple of pictures from my brother-in-law, Vicente Fernández, which show the amount of snow that has already falling in the mountains around Madrid. The first shot shows the mountain range, whilst the second is a webcam image from the ski resort of Valdesqui taken today at 1.13 pm. The Valdesqui website says 2 runs are already open.

That snow looks great, maybe I will try spain instead of france this year!
