A bit of fresh snowfall is a good way to start April!
Yes, there's some cm on the ground and I see Kumanoyu are reporting 5-10cm of fresh this morning. And it is snowing right now.
Visibility generally poor this morning.
Tomorrow the forecast tells us to expect sunshine and clear skies... should be a good day.
Nishitateyama, Hasuike and Kidoike areas are now closed with a few more closing for the season at the end of tomorrow.
Still, most areas remain open for the weekend and there's definitely no shortage of snow!
