Where did that come from?

Having posted yesterday that the snow was coming a thing of the past all through the night rain fell and I awoke to quite a bright day outside, as such I decided to head up to Yamakoshi.

Waiting for the midday bus the sun started breaking through to reveal some blue sky, it seemed like it might turn into a nice picture day.

On route it first started to drizzle with rain which then, in Mushigame turned into fine snow.  Around the village it was apparent that an inch or so of fresh snow had fallen overnight.

Sitting in Shintaro's living room having a chat and coffee the sun again broke through revealing some blue sky, it was short lived.

In Ojiya this evening we've had real proper snow again, something I was sure we'd seen the last of, and the sprinkler system in the road is again running to wash it away.

It seems it's forecast for the next couple of days.
