We didn't avoid the rain completely yesterday unfortunately, but quickly looking to the good news Kagura this morning are reporting 20cm of new snowfall.

It is a mild morning here but happily we seem to have avoided rain and this morning light (wet) sleet/snow is falling, though there's no new cm to report.

The sun was out early on yesterday but it didn't last the day - I present evidence of 5-15cm of new snow here in Naeba (10cm or so under my feet this morning) and 30-40cm of new snow up at Kagura.

The sun is out! While it is still snowing to the north this morning, here in Naeba and above Kagura the sun is out and the skies are clearing up.

I think this morning the news is better than expected. Up to 30cm of fresh snow being reported from Kagura this morning along with a nice cold temperature of -10C.

Yesterday sure was an interesting one weather wise.

Another 10cm or so of snow to report since last night and add another 10cm on top of that and we probably have had 20cm since my report yesterday.

The snow has arrived in style!

Yesterday we did have snow falling but it didn't really amount to much in terms of cm and lower down in Yuzawa it was raining.

OK I'll update you today and not wait - I can't wait when the lower slopes of Naeba have a nice new coating of snow to report.

Lots of rain down in the village area of Naeba but up top - it was snowing!
