Things were calmer earlier on, but in the last hour or so some very noisy winds have whipped up and it's blowing a bit of a gale outside here in Minamiuonuma. I was in Yuzawa just earlier and it wasn't as windy but the forecast is for the warmth of the early morning to make way for wind and much colder conditions during the day.
I would expect that these winds might affect lift operations at some resorts, though at the moment we can't confirm any disruptions now other than Ishiuchi Maruyama saying on their website that the top lifts have been stopped temporarily.
Anyway, yesterday was warm but perhaps not as much as we expected. We have probably already had the highest temperature of the day today as it will quickly get colder and later on we may even be cold enough to see some snow falling. That would be nice. From Tuesday though a return to warm seems very probable.
Update: it has started raining.
