Good morning from Zao and a fine day it is too. Lots of blue sky, some white cloud up there, the sun out and a general feel good day. A cold start to the day with a low of -14C being reported up in the Paradise area of the resort. It's calm with hardly any wind at all. A real contrast to yesterday.
Just 1cm or so of snow since yesterday.
The forecast tells us tomorrow will be somewhat milder, but perhaps bring us some light snow. Temps to drop again from Tuesday.
