I wasn't quite expecting to be reporting rain this morning but unfortunately that is what it is doing at the moment at town level anyway. It is snowing higher up now and with temperatures due to decrease during the day though it should hopefully be quickly turning into snow in town as well. We still look good for decent snowfall this weekend, so I'm looking forward to bringing that news soon.
Today sees Naeba part open and the Tashiro part of Kagura open as well. With Tashiro opening, most of the Kagura areas are now open. As mentioned on the Naeba Now report this morning, that's very good going for early December.
