First of all, the really good news.

So we were definitely expecting snow yesterday.

It's 22nd May and the last day of the season for the Kagura ski area.

We are now into the last week at Kagura and some changes from this morning.

It is another sunny morning and we are due another warm and pleasant day with temperatures in the mid 20s.

Clear blue skies and sunshine and it will be another warm day with the temp in town getting into the mid 20s. Beautiful day for it.

The day is starting with cloud and rain but we are still expecting clear skies and sunshine.

Cloudy skies start our Golden Week holiday period with a real chance of rain, probably starting early afternoon.

There's some heavy looking cloud around early this morning. Fog is reported at higher areas of Kagura too.

I think we avoided much rain during the day yesterday quite well, but it was raining quite a lot last night (foggy too).

We did get some rain later on yesterday (quite heavy at times) but that stopped overnight and the roads are drying up this morning.

It's April and I have some fresh snow to report from higher areas!

Yesterday was fine, bright, sunny and warm.

At one point yesterday morning it was actually snowing quite heavily.
