None of the heavy snowfall yet here this morning with just 1cm to report in Zao since yesterday. That's not going to help so much! It is definitely colder this morning though and there's some fairly dark clouds up there looking all threatening, and so fingers and toes are crossed that it is on the way. Consistent snowfall is on the forecast from today through until near the end of the week. It is going to stay very cold as well.
Look out for strong winds Tuesday-Thursday.
