Posted on Monday 17th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
A few cm of snow from yesterday, but today the sun is out and it's going to be a beautiful blue sky day when the remaining clouds clear, I can tell.
Quite cold early but it's going to warm up during the day in the sun. It's going to be warmer still tomorrow, and we are expecting strong winds and... rain, unfortunately.
Later in the week though, colder conditions should be back with us and they may bring some fresh snowfall.
Official snow depths):
Utopia: 320cm

Paradise: 290cm
Uwanodai: 180cm
