No snow has fallen in the last 12 hours. Did you see beautiful sun pillars yesterday? Sun pillars are caused by ice crystals drifting in Earth’s air. Which means it was very cold and sunny yesterday:) It’s calm this morning but will be stormy from late this afternoon. Better to go home earlier.
You can see the monster on the weather map. A big storm is growing quickly and heading to Hokkaido. The mountain might be closed for a few days. Let’s wait safely and hope we can get back on the powder soon.
