Good morning from Zao.
There's some snow to report to you this morning and the lower slopes are - perhaps only for a short time - are looking freshly white again. Hopefully there will be more higher up on the mountain, though official snow depth numbers remain unmoved this morning.
The forecast seems to be saying that it should be clearer and sunny skies are due tomorrow before colder temperatures come from Saturday onwards and --- hopefully more snow!
Fingers crossed.
