Once again, we didn't get the massive snows that were promised, while the coastal cities got pounded with snow. Not that we didn't get some nice snow, which we needed after the melting of the warm spell. And it is still snowing, thankfully without the high winds that were also a possibility. Things can change, of course....
There is a much higher avalanche risk right now, too. One local forecaster found some pretty unstable conditions on the east face of Mt. Maeyama, so today might be a good day to exercise a little caution, stay on lower-angle slopes and in the denser forests if you do head off from the resorts.
