Morning!

No fresh snow overnight - just a dusting - but there was 6cm by the evening yesterday.

Popular ski resorts around Yuzawa were looking very busy yesterday! It's not often these days that you see long lines for ski lifts. Not ideal for people waiting in them perhaps, but it is good to resorts enjoying popularity. We can surely expect a busier-than-normal Monday today, but things should be getting quieter in the afternoon as lots of folk start to make their way back home.

It is a cold and icy morning, currently -4C just after 8am.

We are due more snowfall once again tomorrow. Regular... nice.
