Posted on Monday 9th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
Coldest morning of the season. And by the looks of the other reports it seems it's a very cold start to the day Japan-wide!
Just a few cm of fresh snow to report this morning but snow is due today.... and lots of it. Get ready for some impressive numbers tomorrow morning.
Visibility low this morning with snow, fog and cloud. The village was in the cloud and fog early on, but that has improved since then. Still a lot of cloud around. And like I said, really cold.
A good refresh is always welcome.
