Good morning (just) from Nozawa.
I was a bit naughty this morning. I spent a few hours over at Madarao. Blame my visiting friends. And, sorry, Naski.
Both over at Madarao and here, it has been a fine morning. There was quite a lot of fresh snow over there; less so over here, but the ski area has reported up to 15cm on the mountain since yesterday.
Like I said, a fine morning to be out and about. It is busier than a normal weekday due to today being a national holiday.
Rising temps due over the coming few days and probably a lot of sunshine.
