Good morning from Geto Kogen.


Another nice new fresh layer of snow and it is still coming down nicely early this morning. Fine flakes at the moment rather than big fluffy ones, though it is keeping nice and cold and so conditions should be pretty good if you want to brave the weather.


Visibility limited at the start of the day today.


The snow might stop this afternoon and there seems to be a good chance of clearer skies tomorrow. After that, more snow due from Sunday.
