It was about 11am before the cloudy skies parted yesterday morning, with some light snow falling in places and limited visibility until then.

We've had a kind of a dusting of snow - I can just about justify 1cm for this report. Perhaps more than that at higher elevations.

Yesterday was, as expected, warm. The Japan Meteorological Agency recorded a town level temp of 12C at 2pm.

Cloud gathered as the day progressed yesterday, but it remained fairly bright and sunny until late afternoon.

Fine weather yesterday, particularly in the first half of the morning, with more cloud around in the afternoon.

1-2cm of (wet) snow again after a generally fine and sunny day yesterday.

Yesterday evening I went out for a walk with an umbrella. It was quite weird. Was it snowing or raining?

Yesterday we enjoyed a sunny day with clouds gradually gathering later on.

It has been fine and sunny since early on this morning with just a bit of thin cloud around. It was quite cold early on but starting to warm up a bit now.

After a fine start and some blue sky, the weather had changed by late morning yesterday and we had some heavy snow at times, along with some windy conditions.

A cold morning with a bit of fresh snow... but not a whole lot.

After those warmer days and some rain yesterday in town, I'm happy to report that we start the weekend with colder conditions and a layer of fresh snow.

Beautiful weather yesterday... but too warm, rising up to over 8C in town mid-afternoon. We lost over 50cm of snow in my garden over the last two days.

We had beautiful weather yesterday with clear blue skies and sunshine. It got very mild in the afternoon, though, approaching +6C in town mid-afternoon.
