Good morning from Yuzawa.
There's some cloud up there in places but lots of blue sky as well and the sun is shining through and casting shadows this morning - it's a fine, calm start to the day and currently around 0C. I was hoping to be reporting snow but we haven't had any snowfall since yesterday. When will the snow arrive? Perhaps some later on, as it is actually snowing more northerly parts of Niigata this morning.
Decent snowfall looks most likely though later tomorrow and going into Thursday. Hopefully that forecast will turn out to be correct.
If you take a look back at the archives for January 2012 you'll see how the official snow depth numbers of resorts around town are in some cases considerably less this year... not so much higher areas. Fingers crossed that January will bring with it those crazy snowstorms that deposit huge amounts of snow over a few days. There's not a shortage problem, but we always want regular topups.
