Posted on Wednesday 20th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.


Another case of blue skies we were seeing a bit earlier getting covered by cloud this morning. It's a cold start to the day and we do have a few cm since yesterday. No wind and generally just cloudy but bright. That's about it this morning.


Snow is forecast for today and then from the Friday again so it should be fresh conditions for the weekend.
