Weather conditions:
Snow
New snowfall:
15cm

Report:
Great conditions today. The snow is coming down steadily and there is no wind to speak of. There has been a good build up of fresh snow from the early hours and it is about boot deep at the moment on top of a soft layer from yesterday. The cold temperatures have given us some light, fluffy snow and it would be a shame not to go out and enjoy it.

It looks to be snow into the weekend with temperatures starting to rise again from Monday.

Weather conditions:
Light snow
New snowfall:
Dusting

Report:
The forecast seems to be spot on with grey skies and light snow falling in Minakami today. As predicted the temperature has dropped and there is a very light dusting falling all over today. This weather looks set to last for a bit which will be a nice refresher after the snow was affected by the rain and higher temperatures of the last couple of days. Bit hard under foot this morning but will soften up and should be a nice layer of fresh stuff building up.

The forecast is still saying light snow for the rest of the week with the possibility of some sunshine over the weekend. Temperatures are likely to stay pretty low for the rest of this week though might start to get a bit warmer towards the start of next week.

Cloudy/Rain
New snowfall:

Report:
Bit of a grim one today in Minakami. Warmer temperatures meant a bit of rain. Grey skies everywhere and depending on your altitude it was either wet snow up high or rain lower down. As a result it was pretty thick and heavy snow out on the slopes and very soft underfoot.

The cold weather is on the way back though and the forecast is for snow for the rest of the week with a possibility of it clearing up by Sunday for a bit of weekend sunshine.
