Yesterday it was snowing but didn't really amount to much in terms of cm - we did get stronger winds later on in the day though and overnight here down at town level.

This morning we were in for a surprise. Feels like proper winter again!

Perhaps up to 20cm or so of new snowfall in places and out on the resorts slopes more than that.... Kagura are even reporting an impressive 40-50cm of fresh snow this morning. I would imagine resorts around town are all somewhere between those two numbers. How I would like to be up there this morning than typing things on a computer - conditions should be good.

It is still snowing but there are signs that it might brighten up, right now a temperature of around -2 degrees.

Actually tomorrow looks set to be a sunny day with temperatures rising to around +3 degrees. From Friday it will be getting milder still, so lets just hope for as much snow as possible today.
