A cold morning but no new snow to report, which kind of surprised me. As did yesterday with the clouds clearing and us ending up with blue skies over the region.

Big impressive snowfalls overnight in the region.

It's not that cold this morning but there's 15cm or so of new snow to report. On the mountain the resort is reporting up to 30cm in places.

5cm of fresh snow since early this morning at Madarao Kogen and it's falling nicely now early on so fingers crossed it will pile up.

Some fresh snow to report this morning from Madarao. 15-20cm in fact, according to the resort on the slopes. 10cm or so at base I saw.

After the clear and sunny conditions we had yesterday, this morning it's snowing. A few cm on the ground with the resort also reporting 2cm as of 9am.

Gone are those snow clouds. Gone far away. Over Madarao right now it's just clear blue skies. A beautiful morning. It was cold overnight and it starts off cold this morning.

It's a good snowing morning greeting from Madarao Kogen.

This morning no fresh snow to report from Madarao Kogen, just some sore heads and weary people starting out a bit later than usual. The early birds got a good deal this morning.

Just a thin layer of new snow overnight in Madarao and just a cloudy start to the day. A special day of course, it being New Years Eve.

Beautiful weather this morning in Madarao.

10-15cm, though windy conditions mean that it's variable depending on where you look. One thing for sure is that it's a very cold morning here and the thermometer outside is saying -6C.

After yesterday the skies quite quickly clouding over, we got some rain last night I'm afraid.

For now though I can tell you that as yesterday ended up, it's sunny here in Madarao.
