Loads of snow!
Yesterday evening there was a bit of a break in the snow falling and I went out to measure 33cm of snowfall since my morning report. Wiped the snow off and this morning there's another 30cm on there. So that's an impressive 63cm to report to you this morning.
And it is still snowing.
The Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa is back open again this morning and it looks like all of Kagura is open too (and other ski resorts of course). There may be some late opening lifts though as they cope with all this snow.
There seems to be a chance of some sunshine tomorrow.
Take care out there.

Oh yes, Kagura are reporting 30-40cm 'until this morning'. And Maiko are reporting 40+cm.
Personally I think it'd be cool if they were more specific about the numbers they put out - is it since yesterday morning, or since last night, or since when?
But there you go!
And we are kind of pleased that our way of keeping a measured record every day through the season is kind of unique (even if it is in town rather than on the ski resorts).
But bottom line: there's a lot of snow around right now!
