Posted on Thursday 18th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
As expected, it's going to be a beautiful day here in Zao today.
Clear blue skies are the headline for the day, with just a dusting of snow since my last report.
No wind and not too cold - but hopefully won't be getting too warm either even with the sun.
There's likely going to be more sunshine tomorrow and a return to snowfall on Saturday, though it might get slightly too warm with a chance of some rain. Let's just hope we can avoid that.
For the moment though, beautiful weather.
