The forecast was pretty much right.
Clouds arrived yesterday in the afternoon after that clear start, and by evening it was raining and there was some strong noisy wind blowing about outside. Quite hard at times. No new snow to report - dustings up top though I hear - and I am glad to say that the drama from the last part of yesterday has cleared up and we start today with more sunny, blue skies.
Tomorrow will be more cloudy and a good chance of rain later in the day.
It's the last day for nighta at Ishiuchi Maruyama. That resort also intends to be open (daytimes) until Sunday 7th April.
We'll bring you the planned closing dates of resorts soon....
