Not really much to report in terms of new snowfall since yesterdays report, just a dusting I would say but this morning light snow continues to fall.

Madarao was able to mostly open up during the day after that windy start.

This morning 20-30cm of fresh snowfall across the mountain with snow still falling. Great news.

The winds did get more friendly yesterday with Madarao Kogen able to open up around lunchtime.

Lots of gas-like cloud earlier on this morning but in the last hour or so they clouds have been dispersing and there's some lovely blue skies over Madarao.

It's a good cold morning in Madarao.

10-15cm of fresh snow is being reported by Madarao this morning and the day has started with light snow continuing to fall though that isn't expected to continue for long. Clearing up is the more likely.

There is another 15cm of fresh snow here in Madarao and things are starting to look much improved.

A lovely morning with a sea of clouds in the valley below us, some blue skies above us,....and 20+cm of fresh snow on the ground.

Yesterday I said we were hoping for snow overnight, and we have had some.

There is some fresh snow to report this morning from Madarao. Just 4cm outside my place and Madarao Kogen is this morning stating 5-10cm of fresh on the slopes. Better than 0cm!

Good morning and Happy New Year! And what a start.

It has turned into a beautiful morning.

Light snow falling early this morning here in Madarao though it is expected to be clearer during the day today.
