Yesterday the snow was falling really hard at times, and some almost white-out conditions on the roads around Yuzawa and to the north in Minamiuonuma. It calmed down somewhat by the end of the afternoon but the day delivered another 15cm or so of snow. Kagura reports up to 20cm of new.
This morning started off with a lot of cloud around but by 9am it was blue skies over Yuzawa and it is a beautiful morning now. A drive around town and you can see lots of the locals shovelling snow from their driveways and off roofs of houses. The huge snow moving machines are busy doing their thing on the roads of the town. It's all action.
For the lucky ones able to be skiing and snowboarding today, excellent conditions away. Tons of snow and clear blue skies. It couldn't be much better than this.
It has been a fairly cold start to the day today but warmer conditions will be with us for a few days. It might get just a bit too warm actually, so we can just hope that temps remain on the lower end of the forecast. Still looking like snow will be back with us Friday.
