I know you come to these reports wanting to hear about fresh snow (and toast, of course), and this morning I have 16cm of it to report to you.

22cm of lovely light fresh overnight snowfall to report to you from base this morning. Beautiful. Top quality stuff too.

I have 10cm to report to you this morning since my last report, and it is still snowing now.

The sun is out this morning.

It's a lovely morning here. Nice and cold, and there's blue sky.

More good news this morning.

It's snowing very nicely this morning and has been coming down at quite the rate.

The snow haul since my last report here at base is a pleasing 19cm and with probably more than that in higher areas.

It's February already. Blimey.

It's the last day of January and for this report I have 11cm of snow to report since yesterday morning.

As of 8:30am, there's have 24cm of new snowfall to report from base and it's still coming down.

Enjoyed a few hours out there yesterday in that fun mix of weather conditions we had.

It's good news this morning too as we venture back into double digits of new snow since the previous day.

This morning the sun is shining through my window just now. There's an increasing amount of blue sky above Hirafu.
