Posted on Thursday 9th March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Zao Now report can be found here.
It's a cold morning here in Zao and there's a few cm of fresh snow on the ground and light snow falling as I write this report.
We're expecting snow and cloud for the day today and hopefully through tomorrow as well. Poor visibility early on - foggy up there? - but hopefully that will improve during the day.
The skies will probably be clearer by the time we roll on into the weekend and some fairly mild conditions are expected.
