Good morning from Zao.
It's almost midday as I write this and the snow is coming down quite heavily down by base.
Clearer weather ahead and after this spell of colder conditions it looks like there is a bit of a warm spell coming around Wednesday/Thursday in the coming week. (Actually it looks a bit too warm for comfort, hopefully that will get forecast down a bit!)
For the moment should be a good weekend.
