*3.5cm of fresh snow has fallen in the last 24hrs in Hirafu Village. At 7:00 today the temperature was -14°C. Well well well. Looks like the fun has come out to play and it is ON! Not a huge dump or anything overnight but chances are high the gates will open today and excitement levels are through the roof! The sunshine is not forecast to last for long and with snowfall predicted for the next week get out there and get some vitamin D people!
