Posted on Friday 25th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
About 12cm of new snow in village by reckoning this morning as it continues to snow. No wind and not particularly cold out and so a good morning to be sliding on the new snow. Care needed though as visibility is right down to not much at all even on the lower slopes near base here. Heavy snow likely today and through tomorrow as well and I think we can quickly expect temperatures to get colder during the daytime today. Hope to be bringing news of a really good snowfall tomorrow morning.
