Good news for snow lovers.


It has been snowing and looks set to continue.


Some curious snowfall measurements this morning, even at our 2 main measuring points that are close to each other. At one there's just 23cm. The other - the main one that we go with - has had 35cm since yesterday morning. Anyway a decent amount and a good first step to the total refresh that this week promised to provide.


Yuzawa Kogen is reporting 20cm since yesterday evening.


We need lots, so let's have much more!
