Snow again today in Minakami. It snowed a lot last night with 25cm up and Tenjin and a good layer on all the other resorts. The snow is coming in fits and starts today with some clear spells as well as heavy snow falls from time to time. The colder temperatures continue today and there is a bit of a cold, gusty breeze around.

Snow for the rest of the weekend but the temperature will rise on Monday and Tuesday with the chance of some sunshine. From Wednesday onwards the temperature drops again and there is talk over another big snowfall starting from Thursday.
