Things seem calmer this morning, though some ski areas are still warning about wind conditions.

I woke up at 5am to the very unwelcome sound of heavy rain.

The snow has stopped, at last! For now, anyway.

This snow just won't stop!

Yet more snow! Our measurement since yesterday morning is 37cm (27cm of that overnight).

Another 18cm of snowfall since yesterday.

Continuing the pattern of the last few days, the morning snow eased off by mid-morning yesterday, but it was snowing again from night and into this morning.

Good morning from a cold and snowy Yuzawa.

We have received a lot more overnight.

Good morning from a cold and snowy Yuzawa.

After a very bright morning yesterday and some rain last night, the snow has started overnight (and set it from dawn).

The snow did indeed linger for quite a while yesterday, perhaps maybe longer than expected, though it didn't really amount to much in terms of new cm.

Another 17cm of snow to report this morning from our measuring point, with Kagura, Yuzawa Kogen and Maiko Snow Resort ski areas all reporting 20cm.

An excellent end to the month!
