Good morning.


It's a bit of a wild kind of morning.


There's what looks like slush on the road outside my place and wet spots on the webcam near Hasuike Junction. Wet snow is falling. And it's windy. Even kind of bright in some places. Feels like a real mashup of conditions.


If you still wish to brave these conditions, check with the individual ski areas as a lot of lifts are being affected this morning. It looks like there are more lifts on hold at the moment than are open.


Hopefully tomorrow might be a bit more friendly and I might even have some snow news.
