Happy snow news!
After some blue sky during the day yesterday, the snow clouds finally did move in overnight and gave us some of their goodness.
You can see the numbers in the list below (they are updated every day, of course), but this morning ski areas are reporting up to 40cm of fresh snowfall on upper areas, more like 15-20cm in lower areas. I have myself measured 22cm. Tsugaike are reporting up to 60cm of fresh in some wind blown areas.
Oh yes. And it's still snowing and we are due snow through tomorrow.
Limited visibility this morning.
Enjoy, but take care folks. Extra layer today, too, as it's cold!
