We have had snow overnight!
Our measurement is 21cm.
Yuzawa Kogen is reporting up to 25cm. Maiko Snow Resort is reporting 15-20cm.
And it is still snowing with more due through tomorrow... and maybe quite a bit too. (Worth adding that just north of Yuzawa there are currently some breaks in the cloud, but might be temporary).
Excellent. March continues to surprise us - in a good way. Let's have more!
