Things are looking nice and white this morning as we welcome a few cm of fresh snowfall to the village with yesterdays rather stormy conditions. The wind has calmed down this morning and it's just a generally cloudy start to the day. A cold one though, and right now around 0 degrees.
There's not a huge amount of snowfall on it's way in the coming week according to the forecast. Best chance around Saturday.
The Zao Chuo Ropeway is closed for maintenance at the moment until hopefully the weekend when they will re-open (for sightseeing).
