Some new powder snow overnight though not a huge amount - not enough to cover the icy conditions that previous rain had given us. But still nice to see some fresh, and hopefully there is more on the way in the next few days. The forecast is shaping up very nicely at the moment. Snow every day in the coming week... that sounds good. We'll have that please.

It is just cloudy this morning but snow should be falling tonight and through the day tomorrow. Might ease a little first thing Friday but be back for the three day weekend (Monday is a national holiday in Japan). The forecast currently indicates that there may be heavy snow on the way along with some really cold conditions.

A proper winter storm!
