Good to see it is snowing again even if it is only lightly. There is a moderate wind at the moment and 1cm of new snow has accumulated so far. The snow will continue through the day, but the temperature will get warmer, and the middle of the day will be around +1c. The cloud is lower and visibility is a little restricted due to this.There has been no official announcement about the Kitanomine side opening yet. There were some rumors that it would be this weekend but we will have to wait and see.
