We're into March already, can you believe that?
After a warm feeling day yesterday (though a chilly feeling evening), we have another very mild morning. It is already 7 degrees here and probably will rise to perhaps around 11 degrees early this afternoon. Local forecast told us to expect some sun and clearer skies this morning but right now it's just generally grey and cloudy.
OK so rain. Seems we can expect rain later on in the day today, up to higher elevations as well, though by the time I am writing the report for tomorrow we will hopefully have some fresh snow on the ground. The forecast for tomorrow is snow all day and perhaps moderate winds as well.
Talking of wind, while there doesn't seem to be much of a wind here at town level, there's apparently a fair wind blowing in the Kagura area and as such the Tashiro part of that resort is closed. Other resorts seem unaffected.
Let's hope I can report some snow tomorrow morning.
