It feels like mid winter again!
After the disappointing lack of snow over the last few days it did start snowing properly yesterday in the afternoon. Kagura aren't reporting a snowfall number (which often means it's big!), Maiko are saying up to 40cm and Ishiuchi Maruyama are reporting 30cm early morning. Our measuring point has just measured 40cm at 8:30am.
It's quite windy too, especially higher up, and because of that the following ski areas have announced that they will be closed for the day:
Kagura
GALA Yuzawa
The Ropeway and top area of Yuzawa Kogen and the Prince Number 2 gondola at Naeba are also closed, so only the lower areas open at those ski areas.
The snow is due to continue today, tomorrow and maybe Wednesday too. With any luck, less wind.
I wonder how much we will get...
