Posted on Saturday 22nd March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
A few cm of snow at base here, though it's kind of heavy rather than light and fluffy.
Still it is keeping cold and light snow is falling this morning still.
After today, no snow on the forecast for the week. Is that the end? Could be, but expect more sun and much warmer conditions from Monday.
Official snow depths:
Utopia: 300cm
Chuo: 260cm
Paradise: 290cm
Uwanodai: 180cm
