Posted on Thursday 7th January 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Joy! Sufficient snow to cover up the grooming so floating this morning.
We're back to foggy conditions again after a splendid day yesterday. Clouds started to come in toward the end of the afternoon and only light snow fell.
Today, however, we're in for more snow and high winds (which should create interesting drifts).
Visibility is a bit in the twilight zone so mixed. Not as cold as yesterday with way fewer people. Enjoy the day
Those travelling up or back, be conscious that the roads and Shinkansen may be affected so do consider your travel plans.
