Hello from Zao.

No new snow to report this morning and generally thin clouds up there this morning and a temperature just under zero as I write this. The sun is breaking through the clouds though and so it's bright.

The local forecast shows the chance of snow falling tonight and perhaps at times tomorrow as well. I wouldn't expect much and think of anything now as a bonus. After tomorrow there isn't any snow on the weekly forecast; rather things warming up from mid week through into next weekend.
