Morning from Zao.
Lots of cloud this morning but some blue sky too and visibility is good across the mountain early morning. Later on it might cloud over somewhat with a chance of light snowfall. And that seems to be the kind of pattern we might expect over the next few days. Beyond that there's more of a chance of sunny skies.
Not a whole lot of potential heavy snow over the next week. The best chance of some decent new cm is mid-weekend.
It should be keeping cold, though, which is good.
