Good morning from Geto Kogen.


Wind was a factor yesterday but there was some good new fresh to enjoy.


3cm more snow on the ground with perhaps double that higher up. It is still quite windy and it is currently snowing thought it might not last.


There is more snow on the weekly forecast too, so perhaps we can enjoy a good end to February and start of March.


You might have heard of some heavy snow in parts of northern Tohoku yesterday... some of which was in places that doesn't usually get much snow (and doesn't 'need' it).
