Well, the snowfall hasn't dried up yet! Over 10cm of heavy snow outside this morning and temperatures remaining in the negative.
From the looks of the forecasts though, this might well be it as it's going to hot up this week and by the end of the week we might be experiencing temperatures of over 10 degrees in the village. The big melt will be on then.
For now though, some new snow to play in once again today.
Official snow depths:
Utopia: 300cm
Chuo: 260cm
Paradise: 290cm
Uwanodai: 180cm
