A very good cold and snowy morning from Yuzawa.

As expected we got some rain yesterday as temperatures remained fairly mild and not going down into negative numbers.

Just a few cm more to add from around the resorts since yesterday, though with another 10cm on my car during the day that's the number I'm adding below.

Resorts around town reporting 5cm of snow this morning - ranging from town level to Kagura.

Cloudy and sort of snowing on and off yesterday, and overnight too.

Kagura is reporting 15cm of fresh snowfall overnight.

Here we are into 2014 already. Why does time seem to speed up so much once the winter season gets underway!
