Good morning from Yuzawa.
We enjoyed some good snowfall yesterday, with another 10cm to add since the early morning report yesterday. It was only snowing lightly by evening, and there's just a dusting on the top of my car this morning.
There should be some good conditions to enjoy out there this morning.
We were expecting clear skies this morning, but it is mostly just grey and cloudy early on, and there's a noticeable (southerly) wind as well. Hopefully the wind won't be affecting lifts (and I can't find any early morning wind-related announcements).
Many local forecasts still show clearer skies for today, particularly in the afternoon.
Tomorrow we should be receiving more snow and possibly quite a lot of it again.
Friday and Saturday are currently forecast to be clearer.
