It's pretty wild conditions this morning in Yuzawa. Here in town it's heavy rain and a fairly strong wind blowing about and making noises as well. Not very nice. BUT, it looks like it is actually snowing higher up. Higher up is the place to be if you are out and about that's for sure...
Tomorrow should be calmer, sunnier and a bit warmer too.
