Good morning from Yuzawa.
I spent most of the day yesterday in Nagaoka City which is north of Yuzawa and came back in the evening to some light snowfall in Yuzawa though no new cm on the ground. Overnight we have had more snow though and there's 7cm to report in town here.
Kagura are reporting 15cm and Maiko Snow Resort are reporting 5cm as of 7am, though it was snowing quite hard for a short while since then I expect there's more over there than 5cm.
The new snow is of course very welcome. A few friends who were out yesterday have reported of rather spring-like conditions yesterday on some lower slopes around town though conditions keeping better higher up. Still, it's peak season now so we should be enjoying deep and fluffy everywhere right now.
Today once again it's forecast snow but - once again - it somehow just doesn't seem to want to click into 'dumpage' mode. Like I said it was snowing quite heavily for a short while earlier on, but that has now eased off and it's quite bright like it might even clear up. Hopefully it will get snowing again.
Tomorrow clear and sunny skies and mild conditions are very likely to be followed by the promise (is it a promise?) of decent snow falling on Tuesday.
