Good morning from Zao.
I probably under-reported on the snow yesterday, but the strong stormy winds were blowing it all about and so putting a number on it proved to be difficult.
This morning it's a mix of cloud and clearer skies for the last day of the long weekend. Not as windy thankfully and lifts appear to be moving as planned.
There's more snow lined up on the forecast, starting from tomorrow night and perhaps snow over the following few days. Looks like it is going to get colder again. A good end to February sounds good to me.
