The snow is again falling; nothing too heavy, it seems, but a nice, ongoing fall of beautiful flakes. yes, I'm feeling poetic on this last day before most of Japanese have to head back to the daily grind. Good job guys; we'll be thinking about you out here in the snow!

Anyway, while they're busy rebuilding Japan's economy, we have snow to deal with. Looks like a little more today on top of that dense base that is settling pretty well. Should be good conditions ahead. A little sun, and slightly warmer temperatures ahead, but no worries about rain or anything that drastic. There is a low pressure system moving in from the west that may settle in over the area in the next 48 hours - hope that means one of those un-predicted heavy falls. You just never know for sure (cross fingers).
