It's another cold start to the day, and snow is still falling. But it's not the crazy windy white-out that we had yesterday. Difficult to put a number on snowfall due to wind, so there's going to be places with more and places with less. Need to take care out there.
Actually in the last few minutes the snow has really started to come down again here -- but at the same time, it looks like it might be clearing up. I can even see the sun trying to shine through the clouds. Oh, no, gone back in again. Neighbouring areas of Nagano seem to have fine conditions this morning and so my guess is that it will quickly clear up.
More snow due tomorrow though...
Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas, depending on weather:
