Morning.


Well, perhaps not as much snow as we though we'd get... so far.


The ski area only reporting 10cm, I'm measuring a bit more than that. Looking at the maps, it seems like areas to the north and east got more (Joetsu, Tokamachi, Tsunan, Yuzawa etc).


There's more due, though. And right through into next week, too. Maybe. It's hard to know exactly what to expect. But we will surely get at least 'quite a lot' and possibly much more!


What's for sure is it is cold!
