Hello and good morning.
Just a little snow down at base here (I note that Kagura resort is reporting 5cm), but we are expecting more from tomorrow... and perhaps a good amount of it too.
Let's not jinx it!
Before that though the skies might clear a bit later on in the day today.

There's even an official song! Apparently, it's called 'That's The Way It Is' and is performed by Ayaka Hirahara.
Hurray!
