Good morning.
It is very windy this morning. Wind is blowing snow around and affecting a number of lifts - looks like Okushiga Kogen, Yokoteyama and Shibutoge are closed, with some other lifts affected.
Not that cold.
And while snow does seem to be coming down - or is it going up?! - I think I can add 1cm to the report, sort of. Wind is making it difficult.
It's not the most pleasant of days to be out there (not for me!) but if you are going I would check before heading out. I think those cheeky Snow Monkeys are going to have a lot of visitors today...
Better news is due for Thursday/Friday. I like that 'heavy snow' note on the forecasts. Let's have some of that please.
