Morning.
It is a very cold morning - a good thing.
Yakebitaiyama was reporting 10cm very early this morning.
Wind was a problem yesterday, causing some lifts to be halted. Today seems better in that respect.
A lull in the snowfall during the day today, perhaps, but some potentially heavy snow overnight tonight.
