Morning from Yuzawa and we do have some fresh snow to report, though only a bit. There was 5cm on my car, and a few resorts around town say the same, though curiously Kagura only say a dusting. That's from 7am though so perhaps the snow had only just started to fall at that time. Talking about Kagura they seem to have moderately strong wind up there and the Kagura Number 4 pair lift as well as the Kagura to Tashiro connecting course seem to be closed at the moment - they hope to get that open again once the winds calm down.

Back down here in town it doesn't seem to be that windy. Light snow falling at the moment and snowy conditions basically forecast for all of today and tomorrow. It's not crazy cold, with a temperature of around -2C at the moment.
