It was snowing earlier on this morning. Then we had a few patches of clearer skies. And it's back snowing again now.

Morning from Niseko. It's National Foundation Day.

The sun is out right now with a mix of cloud and blue sky. Still cold, but doesn't feel as cold this morning.

After that clearer start yesterday, this morning we have another cold and snowy start.

Looking over to our east, the beautiful Mt. Yotei is looking particularly fetching this morning and wearing what looks like a flat-cap (cloud) as I write this. Very fashionable.

It's cold out there this morning, with another layer of snow and - hopefully - there will be less wind today. It certainly doesn't feel as bad.

I was woken up by the sound of wind in the middle of the night. Very rude, I thought.

There is no fresh snow to report and we have a bright and sunny kind of morning with some cloud.

A little new snowfall since yesterday and mid-morning we have cloud of the rather dark type in places and some blue sky to see in some directions too.

We have a mixed bunch of weather going on again this morning.

Another good delivery of fresh snow. Right now it is mostly cloudy with light snow falling in places but some hunt of blue sky in other areas (Annupuri).

It's snowing nicely as I write this and we expect incoming snow today and tomorrow.

Another bright morning here with quite a lot of cloud, with blue sky and some sunshine.

We did have a bit of snow falling yesterday afternoon, but it didn't amount to much of anything. Where I was, anyway. I can just about justify the 1cm in this report.
