Posted on Sunday 5th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
This morning starts as we had yesterday. Some cloud, some blue sky, some sun. Nice.
A few cm of snowfall overnight and another cold start to the day in Zao. -5 at base, -11 at top station.
Still quite busy this morning.... last runs of the holidays for lots of people I would guess.
Similar conditions forecast for tomorrow and maybe a clearer day on Tuesday?
