After some light snow and foggy conditions early on, things seem to be starting to clear with some hints of blue sky appearing places. It feels like we are going to see increasing blue sky as the morning progresses.


Nice morning.


Yakebitaiyama were reporting 5cm of new snowfall at 3am -- love their 3am checking time!


Sunny skies are expected tomorrow morning and generally calm conditions before the next snow which is currently due around Wednesday.
