Morning from Zao.
13cm of snow to report since yesterday morning. It eventually became white out conditions with strong winds. The snow eventually stopped around 5pm.
This morning there are some (fast moving) clouds around, but increasingly looking like it is clearing and the views up at Chuo already look very nice; though there is a little snow still falling now in places.
The official site says it is -79.7C at the summit, but I think that is a typo. It is a cold morning... not that cold! ;)
Tomorrow might be fine with some cloud with more snow forecast early week.
