Yesterday was, in the end, not great. Poor weather, wind, and lifts affected.

Well, it might have been raining in the middle of the night (according to Yakebitaiyama) but it is now snowing.

It has almost felt like March for a while now, but today it actually is March.

It is snowing in places at the moment, with some rain still in others. No cm on the ground to report and the snow is on the wet side.

It's foggy and damp this morning; unfortunately we have not got any snow up here.

Thin cloud with some hints of blue sky this morning.

My car was very icy this morning, but it will be warming up today.

We had some strong winds but it seems to be less so now. We also have fresh snow, varying depending on where you are but I'd say 10-20cm is representative after driving up to Kumanoyu earlier on.

We have had a little snow overnight but the sun is out now and it's a lovely morning. Quite cold again.

Beautiful blue skies this morning over Shiga Kogen.

Fine weather across the region this morning.

We had fine weather yesterday, which was a lot of fun - but that lingering feeling that it was too warm (for mid-February).

It's a cold and snowy and quite windy morning. The wind is affecting some lifts around the region but most ski areas seem to be opening.

We have around 10cm or so in base areas and it is bright, though we do expect some snow today and the chance of some windy conditions later on.
