With the 3cm reported at Yamabiko yesterday early evening, the ski area has said there is 5-10cm around base areas and 22-26cm on upper areas since yesterday.

It did get to snowing yesterday and there has been around 10cm.

It's a cold start and sunny too. Lovely crisp morning.

The ski area is reporting up to 27cm of snow since yesterday morning on upper areas, it has been more like 10-15cm in lower areas.

I did not venture out yesterday evening and so I will have missed any rain, and I am very happy to report that we had some good snowfall overnight.

Looks like it is going to be a fine morning. Some cloud around but some (and increasing) blue sky.

Lots of snow again since yesterday, mostly coming in from early afternoon through the night.

We have that early morning cloud around lower base areas, but it is sunny above that... it is a fine start to the morning with mostly blue sky.

More fresh snow and some blue sky this morning! The mountain is looking particularly inviting.

Good snowfall again overnight and a lot of people lining up eager go get on the gondola at the start of the day.

Yesterday, I did indeed go and check the snow. And fine it was too. All in the name of duty of course.

Good morning from Nozawa. It's another cold one!

No need for letters of complaint!

Before 4pm yesterday the ski area was reporting 10-11cm of snow on upper areas and 6cm around base areas.
