Fresh snow to report from Zao this morning.
And a good 10cm of it as well. Decent quality to, with cold temperatures really helping this morning.
Last blast of winter? Very possibly.
This may last until tomorrow morning, but after that spring is going to come back and take control once again.
Should be a great morning out there though, given it's late March!

Utopia: 225cm
