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


Another clearer start to the day followed quickly by more clouding over in Zao this morning. And on top of that about 10-15cm of fresh snow since last night. Just a light wind and about -5 degrees at the moment.


Should be fine conditions out there this morning.


It looks like we can look forward to clearer views tomorrow, with the next snowfall due around Tuesday.
