Greetings from Hakuba.
After all that fresh snow, we have some fine blue sky (and cloud) this morning.
It should be a perfect morning to be out there playing in that lovely snow. Still can hardly believe it's nearly the end of March!
Goryu is reporting up to 10cm of fresh since yesterday - that's the biggest number to report this morning.
From tomorrow some milder weather is forecast. Hopefully tomorrow can avoid some rain that is on some forecast... that would be a bit of a spoilsport.
