A little late logging in today, but I'm glad I did; things started warm, with even a little sun, before rain started falling, the wind shifted to the north, things got cold, and now we've got light snow falling. Just as your trusty Snow Japan forecast predicted, the freezing line has come way down the mountain way fast. This probably means some not-great conditions on the snow--especially out in the backcountry (think some nasty crust, unless it was actually snowing up higher. Not likely, though).
Take the temperatures below as something for the record; things are a lot colder now!
Updated:
Just a quick lunchtime update: the wind has really come up in the last 30 minutes or so; lift closures are likely so check if you're planning to ski this afternoon (and dress more warmly than the early temperatures would indicate!)
