Posted on Thursday 7th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
We got about 15cm or so of fresh snow delivered in Zao I would say yesterday before evening time. Nice. Strong winds were blowing earlier this morning but now it has calmed down and it's blue skies above Zao.
-2 degrees in the village area, so not mad cold, and clear skies. Lovely morning.
Like the forecast has been saying, snow due again later on today and into tomorrow. Saturday will likely be clearer before more snow on Sunday. Should get colder from tomorrow as well.
