Good morning all.
It's a beautiful morning here in Nozawa. Some cloud to be seen but not over our mountain; a bit of low cloud hanging around lower areas, but that will surely disappear quickly.
Local forecast shows possibly snow tonight again but will probably be cloudy/clear during the daytime tomorrow too.
With the snow we got mostly in the morning yesterday as well, it should be a quality time out there. And that is where I am headed right now. I have someone to meet up there you see... don't have much choice. ;)
Wrap up well - it's still cold - and enjoy!
