Back to winter this morning!
Nice and cold once again after that rather warm day yesterday in particular, with just a sprinkling of snow on the ground.. I think I can just about report it as 1cm.
A light wind. Visibility somewhat limited especially on upper areas of the resort and light snowfall at times.
Potentially heavy snowfall is due Friday into the weekend. Keep an eye on that over the next few days...
It's the Zao Juhyo Festival coming up on Saturday 31st January. 7:15pm until 8:30pm at the stage area by the Base Center at Uwanodai - be there for some traditional snow and fire themed festival fun.
