Morning from Geto Kogen.


Just a slight dusting this morning and I can add 1cm to my report.


Cloudy during the day yesterday; a bit clearer in the evening with these current snow clouds moving in early morning.


It is keeping on the mild side - rather than a wild one! - with a light wind and light snow falling. I wouldn't be expecting much but let's see how it shapes up.
