Very light snow on and off in the morning yesterday though easing off later on.
It got really cold last night actually but has been warming up this morning and we are expecting temps to rise to ab out 7 or 8 degrees today.
Clear skies this morning - bluebird! Talking about birds, lots of chirping going on noticeable recently - another sign of spring with us.
Tomorrow similar conditions, though later in the day it's supposed to break down a bit and we might get some rain/sleet.
Good bit of news. Maiko Snow Resort just outside of Yuzawa in Minamiuonuma has announced that they intend to remain open longer than originally planned. The original planned closing date was 31st March, but they're going to open the Gondola side of the resort on the following two weekends as well - so that's April 6th/7th and April 13th/14th. Weekdays from April 1st will remain closed, so just for the weekends.
