Early on this morning there was a bit of sun but it has since clouded over and wet snow is falling from the skies in town.

Good news - Kagura are reporting 10cm of snow since yesterday and so go high for that fresh snow! That seems to be what people are doing as well as the resorts around town that remain open are looking very quiet now - though I think we can expect more people to be here over their last weekend. People up at Kagura should be in for a treat today though with the new snow up there.

Snow is forecast for today and tomorrow as well as temperatures remain fairly low. After that clearer conditions are expected on Sunday and beyond and temperatures will also begin to rise. It's going to be all change again as we might see it warming up to close to 20 degrees come mid-week.

For now though, it's snow, so I hope you can enjoy it. There can't be that much left!
