Morning from Zao.
There was a beautiful sky earlier but now the clouds have gathered and are blocking the view at the top. Looks like visibility is limited up at Chuo too at the time of writing. There are a lot of snow drifts from strong winds over night.
Clearer skies are forecast tomorrow and Tuesday. As with other regions, mid-week is set to be almost spring-like warmth but hopefully it'll get colder again by next weekend.
