Morning from Zao and it feels more like winter this morning, though we still have some way to go.

Snow is falling and it's generally quite poor visibility out there. It's colder too with temperatures now back down all under zero where they should be.

The forecast has more snow today - though don't expect much - and then maybe more around Thursday. A cold snowy winter storm is due at the end of the week and over the weekend.

I'm sure people who plan on visiting this weekend won't mind me hoping that they'll be experiencing heavy snow...!
