Just a bit of snow to report this morning after the lovely day we had yesterday (especially in the morning).
It is snowing now but not expected to last much into this afternoon. In fact here in the Hasuike area it feels like it is starting to ease off and visibility is improving already.
For those planning on coming Saturday morning. Come prepared for potential heavy snowfall late Friday into Saturday morning.
Beyond that there's also regular snowfall on the forecast.
