Morning from Nozawa and it's back to snow again today.
Fine weather yesterday and some good conditions to enjoy as well. It got fairly mild, though not like what we had last week thankfully, and there was definitely some snow melt going on but now that we are back to snow again today we should be getting some good cm in today. As much as possible, as tomorrow we're going to be back to clear skies and sunshine again.
The weather seems somehow just really confused this season. And not making it any easier for us either!
Anyway, snow falling now and falling quite heavily as well. Fingers crossed it continues.
