Good morning from Nozawa.
The forecast tells us to expect light snow today but for the moment the sun appears to be trying to peek through the clouds and it's quite bright. Feels like it could go either way.
Most forecasts seem to agree though that the next few days should bring some sunshine along with some milder conditions particularly on Thursday and Friday. Warming up a bit too much perhaps and a chance of rain but happily set to get colder once again by the end of Friday with more fresh snow forecast as we enter the weekend.
