Hello from Nozawa.
It's noon and the sun is out. It was a really cold start to the morning, but we are heading into low positive C temps this afternoon.
Tomorrow it will hopefully be snowing again. If not, we might well get rain. So let's hope it keeps on the colder side and we get the snow down to base.
Beyond that we should expect some mild conditions over the coming weekend. I'm hoping there's a nice cold front coming on soon after that.
Anyway, a fine day today.
