Heavy rain and strong winds last night in Minakami. It cleared up a bit this morning but is raining quite heavily again now and it is set to continue for the rest of the day. Bit of low cloud around make visibility a bit close too. Very soft, wet snow up there at the moment.

Hopefully tomorrow will be a blue sky day and Wednesday too is forecast to be fine with the warmest temperatures of the year so far. However it looks like the rain will be back on Thursday and continue through the weekend.
