Good morning from... Nagano.


Yes, I am not actually in Madarao this morning and so going off official info (which I usually feel is reasonable). I will be returning later and will be able to adjust if necessary by tomorrow morning.


Anyway after that fine day yesterday this morning it is snowing and apparently there is around 15cm of fresh.


Lots of snow expected over the next two days.


(Like I said, I'll back at base later on and will check/adjust).
