Morning.
We had flurries of snow in the morning but some clearer sky by lunchtime and then back to snow overnight.
Yakebitaiyama was reporting 20cm of snowfall early this morning; Kumanoyu reporting 10cm.
There are light snow clouds with us at the moment and it is snowing. But it is quite bright in places and it feels like it might stop during the day.
A few days of sun and milder conditions forecast from tomorrow; but there's more fresh snow due beyond that.
