Hello from Geto Kogen.
A dusting-plus this morning - the ski area is reporting 3cm of snowfall on the mountain. That snow came once it was dark.
This morning is quite cloudy but quite bright too, with some blue sky and sun. And maybe more sun due tomorrow too particularly in the morning.
What we all have our eye on is the snow that is forecast for later tomorrow, though we probably shouldn't expect too much. Hopefully, we might get surprised.
With Monday being a holiday in Japan, it's a long 3-day weekend.
