Video Update….
It’s a rainy day down here in the village, although it is trying with all it’s might to snow – sometimes the flakes make it down this far before melting but only for brief periods. It is definitely snowing up on Yamabiko though, and it’s forecast to keep doing so until Saturday morning so conditions on the weekend should be pretty nice. Temperatures are also falling somewhat so even some of the lower areas might get a nice top up over the next couple of days
New Snow (Resort): 0 cm
