White-out blizzards conditions this morning, folks. It's wild out there. There's not much to see of anything, making conditions really quite dangerous.
Many probably would not want to venture out in these conditions anyway, but, even if you did quite a lot of lifts are affected. So it's all quite limited this morning.
Probably best to sit this one out and wait until the forecast sun that is due tomorrow.
Check the fresh snowfall that ski areas are reporting this morning:
Okushiga Kogen 80cm
Yakebitaiyama 60cm (very early morning)
Kumanoyu: 50cm
Wind is blowing the light, find snow around making measurements difficult. Greatly varied amounts depending on where you look. I'm going with 50cm as it seems representative to me.
With all the fresh snow, conditions tomorrow should be totally excellent. I'm excited thinking about it.
