There's some snow to report. Just a couple of cm in places around base, and hopefully more up top. On the Chuo webcam, it looks like there might be about 5cm or so up there.


It is still snowing lightly with that forecast for the day.


A return to clearer skies and perhaps sun is expected tomorrow through Tuesday.
