Happy New Year.
After snow overnight, early this morning there was some blue sky to be seen... but it has been snowing since then. Light to moderate, depending on where you are. And brighter in some spots too. So some varied weather conditions on this first day of the year.
Early morning Yakebitaiyama was reporting 15cm.
If forecasts are correct, we might see some sun later on and tomorrow morning too.
We are starting the year with some very nice snow conditions.
