A fine - if somewhat overcast - day yesterday and another warm one as well.

This morning started off cloudy but it has started raining... though I can see on the webcams that it is actually snowing in higher areas with visibility becoming more limited. Let's see how long that lasts. Some forecasts even have the chance of snow on a few days this week, and quite colder too as we enter the weekend, though it will often be rain down here in the village. Anyway, it will be interesting to see how the weather turns out over the next few days.

Following on from Happo-one, Hakuba Goryu have also announced that they will be extending their season by a few days, until Sunday 10th May.
