Hello from Zao.
A few more cm of snow on the ground this morning and it is snowing now so fingers crossed we'll be getting some more over the next few days. We could do with a nice thick layer of fresh out there.
It's a very cold start to the day as well though tomorrow looks set to be somewhat milder.
Regular snow on the forecast for the week. The big question is... how much?
Hope you have a good Sunday.
