Hello and good morning from Yuzawa.
Yesterday was cloudy and grey for the day, with rain coming in the evening.
Not to worry though because this morning we have some snow on the ground.
Here's what resorts are reporting:
Kagura: 10cm
Maiko: 5-10cm
And there's 5cm of snow on the top of my car this morning and at our measuring points both in Yuzawa and just to the north in Minamiuonuma.
It's snowing still as well with snow still on the forecast for today, tomorrow and beyond.
Exciting to get more fresh - let's have lots of it please.
Will report again tomorrow morning.
