Good morning.
Well, another 10cm at base since my last report which is good to report. It was windy yesterday, which was less good, with some more light snow overnight.
It is not snowing now and just cloudy. From now on the forecast brings us a higher chance of clearer skies, maybe even some sunshine!, and as we get towards next weekend warmer conditions too.
Today is a national holiday in Japan.
