Morning from Zao.
Last night appears to have been a windy night. The new snowfall is inconsistent with drifts all around. The good thing there, of course, is that means there is more fresh snow again! It's good to see the snow depth numbers going up, too.
The sky is cloudy/overcast early on with some openings showcasing a bit of blue sky in places.
There might be more snow over the weekend, though.
