An early report from Yuzawa on this Monday morning.


There was some windy conditions up at Kagura yesterday with the Tashiro area closing.


It feels much calmer this morning. There is a lot of cloud around but some sun breaking through in places.


We are expecting rain today though, and perhaps there might even be some snow overnight on the mountains as temperatures remain 'lower than usual' (grrrrrrr).
