Morning from Geto.


Not so cold again this morning though still under zero and there's 18cm of fresh snow to report at base. Light snow currently falling though likely to ease off with possibly clearer weather tomorrow.


Looks like Japan is going to experience some milder conditions over the coming week. Not too much please. We want winter to remain!
