I am pleased to report that we do actually have some fresh snow this morning.


Early morning (3am) Yakebitaiyama were reporting 0cm, and at 7am Kumanoyu are reporting 3cm. And I can now report 6cm as of 9am, so hopefully we will be getting some more during the day.


I am close to Ichinose Family right now, and it is actually snowing quite heavily at the moment. Great to see, of course.


It is colder, but not mid-winter cold.


Clear skies are due once again from tomorrow.
