Good evening all and welcome back to the reports.


I am actually away from Zao at the moment but my trusted friend has filled me in on around 4-5cm of fresh snowfall in the village area early this morning along with a temperature of around -1C.


Not a whole lot more to expect in the coming week as temperatures look set to rise a bit and there might be quite a bit of sunshine.


I'll update you again when there is more snow to report.
