Snow!
Not a huge amount, but snow all the same. And definitely better than the rain that was falling last night. Yesterday got really warm - even up to around 16 degrees!
Glad that it turned into snow and there's just a few cm on the ground in town areas and 5cm being reported by Gala Yuzawa and Kagura at higher elevations. Wind is strong in places and seems to be affecting Kagura with limited operations up there this morning.
It's more than likely going to clear up by this afternoon with clearer skies forecast for this evening, another cold night and then lots of sun tomorrow with a high back up to around +6. For now, it's hovering around 0 degrees in Yuzawa.
