Posted on Friday 27th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Feels like winter again this morning.
Just a few cm of snow so far but it is snowing now and snowing quite heavily as well.
Strong winds too. A few lifts affected it seems including the top section of the Zao Ropeway and Kurohime Number 1.
It's not forecast to last too long though, easing off tomorrow probably to be followed by warmer conditions again around Sunday... rain? Yuck, please no.
Anyway if we can get a decent amount to fall today, tomorrow might be pretty decent.
