Good morning from Madarao.

Not a huge amount of fresh to report this morning after a day of rather mixed weather conditions yesterday.

The resort is reporting 5cm and I have just a bit more than that measured to report.

It's good and cold this morning and light snow is falling at the moment. Conditions should be good out there. Sadly once I post this I have to make my way to Nagano city. Not that I don't like Nagano city, of course. ;)

Anyway, we are expecting heavier snowfall later on today and tonight with things easing off once again as we get into tomorrow. That's what the forecast says anyway and that should be followed by a run of days with clearer skies expected. As long as it keeps cold, that sounds fine with me - let's get a good thick new layer tonight first shall we?

Have fun today. Tomorrow should be great.
