Posted on Friday 13th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
It's back to cold this morning and some decent snowfall happening outside. Over 5cm so far and if it continues like it is now it should be piling up quite quickly. The cold and snow should take a firm grip on things today and there's a chance of stronger winds. Things seem ok for the moment in that respect.
Poor visibility this morning though.
Similar conditions are expected tomorrow as well.
Official snow depths:
Utopia: 230cm
Chuo: 205cm
Paradise: 210cm
Uwanodai: 155cm
