It's foggy up there! Yes, fog up on the upper slopes that are open early this morning. Keeping cold as well, with a temperature of just -1C degrees on Yamabiko as of 8am, and 5C in the village.
Rain is likely later on along with perhaps some stronger winds as well. Might it even get cold enough for a bit of snow on the mountain?
Once we clear tomorrow though, it should be clearer and sunnier conditions right through until the last day of the season on Monday 6th. That would be a nice way to end the season.
