Yesterday the weather was a strange one. It started off with those thin clouds and seemed to cloud over more before starting to clear up mid-morning. By late morning the sun was out and the clouds had almost all gone from the sky and lunchtime to mid afternoon it was a very fine day weather wise. Snow was good as well from the reports I have been hearing from people out and about.
There's more cloud cover up there this morning for sure but the sun is out at the moment over Yuzawa. I don't think it will end up being like yesterday though as we are told to expect a cloudy afternoon and the chance of sleet (possibly even rain, nooooo!). The mild conditions look set to continue into tomorrow with another borderline rain/sleet/snow vauge local forecast for town. It should be snowing higher up though and the further good news is that later in the week we are due what looks like could be potentially decent snowfall. Let's hope so.
Another fairly busy day at the popular resorts today and tomorrow too, also a holiday in Japan.
