Good morning from Nozawa.
Things have calmed down once again and as I put this report together we have a mix of blue sky and cloud this morning.
If the local forecasts are right (not necessarily so!), the clouds may end up winning the day but for now it's bright and sunny in places.
It's a good and cold start to the day as well, though set to warm up a bit (and more tomorrow - with a mix of rain/sleet/snow on the confused forecast... will depend on the temperatures. Cold please.)
Early tracks this morning should be fun!
