Posted on Tuesday 7th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Strong blowy winds this morning with snow falling and cold temperatures.
It looks like it will be that for the day, though the wind doesn't seem to be affecting any of the lifts at least as of 10am. Tomorrow should be calmer though regular snowfall is on the weekly forecast.
There's not many people around at the moment weekdays, especially on days like this - excellent if you can get here and fine with the weather conditions.
