Posted on Wednesday 1st February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
It is a cloudy day here in Zao.
A cold start but it has warmed up a bit and doesn't feel too chilly here at base now but the top station is reporting -10C as of 10:30am. Should be nice snow conditions.
More snow is due tonight and probably through tomorrow as well and if the forecasts are correct we can probably also expect some moderate to strong winds.
Be prepared if you plan to be here tomorrow!
