Good morning.
It is going to be a very good week. I can feel it.
We have a modest amount of fresh snow on the ground this morning - the resort is reporting 10cm; I am measuring 8cm - but this is just the start of what looks set to be one of the snowiest weeks of the season.
Once it starts snowing again later today, we're expecting it to pretty much continue right through until Saturday and at times it be coming down at a really fast rate.
Sounds like Tokyo is going too get snow today. They aren't used to it like we are so there may well be transportation disruption depending on how that pans out.
Anyway, expectations are very high - let's hope it lives up to them!
