Good morning to you all from Hakuba.


There was some blue sky to enjoy yesterday in the early afternoon before it started snowing again.


It is another cold morning with light snow falling. That's what is forecast for the day, on and off.


The New Year holidays are over for lots of people, now going back to work. So it will probably be quieter this morning.
