We are about to start the famous Golden Week holiday period.

There has been a dusting on places where it first accumulates, and I feel I can just about report 1cm. (It has since gone from roads outside my place).

It is actually snowing this morning. The road outside here in Hasuike is damp rather than covered with snow but there has been a slight layer.

Some dusting of snow - enough for 1cm added to this report, but roads are clear.
