Not much new snow since yesterday in the end. In fact, the skies cleared up in the afternoon somewhat and it was a beautiful clear evening in Yuzawa and neighbouring Minamiuonuma valley.
This morning more cloud back and light snow has been falling and snow is forecast for the day. I was in Yuzawa earlier but right now I am in Minamiuonuma and at the moment here there are breaks in the cloud, some blue sky and the sun is shining through in places. We'll have to see if the clouds or the sun wins through in the end, but I don't expect much in terms of cm of new snowfall today. Not really for the rest of this week actually either with no major cold front that will bring a lot of snow due through the week.
The forecast tells us to expect some very mild conditions towards the end of the week and perhaps some rain before the weekend when hopefully snow will be back.
