Good morning all and welcome to the new week. It starts in good style with some good freshly fallen snow on the ground and suitably cold conditions.
This morning Yakebitaiyama resort area is reporting about 30cm of fresh snowfall while Kumanoyu (who often report smaller numbers) are saying 10cm. I myself have just measured 16cm but overnight it sounded rather windy so there's that windswept thing going on in places.
Forecasts show regular snow for large parts of this week - light at times, heavy at times. All good. Especially the latter!
I'm all revved up to go and seek out that 30cm of fresh that Yakebi are reporting!
