Posted on Wednesday 15th February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
A bit hard to read how today will turn out.
It just stopped snowing, however, it is supposed to be due back during the day.
It is also supposed to be overcast, however, there are blue patches appearing and then disappearing around the base and beyond.
Although there is fog higher up, this, at the moment, is only affecting long range visibility.
Wind is likely to pick up later.
So, there you have it - a bit of everything! Just get out and enjoy the new covering as there won't be any more until Sunday morning when quite a bit is expected.
