Morning from Naeba.
There was a lot of cloud around this morning but it is clearing up and there is more and more blue sky appearing above us - looks like it is going to be a fine day.
Which will be much better than the rather wet and not particularly fine day we had yesterday, though there was some snow falling on the mountain (up at Kagura they are reporting 5cm). It was raining down in Yuzawa town.
Snow on Thursday? Let's hope so... they're saying there is a chance.

- 200cm
