Yesterday wasn't the most inspiring of days, but this morning we can quickly refresh our minds with some fresh snow on the ground.

The main headline this morning is the southerly wind.

We did get a bit of sunshine again yesterday before the clouds moved in again.

Fine weather yesterday morning with cloud gradually forming, especially to the north of Yuzawa over the Minamiuonuma valley.

Yesterday we had some changeable weather conditions. At times there was some blue sky and sunshine, but it often quickly started to snow again.

Well yesterday we got a wide range of weather conditions yesterday.

The first few hours of this morning we enjoyed totally clear blue skies above Yuzawa.
