Snowfall for the day yesterday along with some real blowy northerly winds as well, quite strong at times.

We enjoyed a bit of sunshine and blue skies in the afternoon yesterday once the clouds cleared up a bit, though there was still a lot of cloud around.

It's another cloudy morning here.

It kept on snowing yesterday with most people now asking 'when is this going to stop'?

It was snowing for most of the day yesterday, though weaker at times, but we were back to heavier snowfall in the evening and this morning there is another 30cm of fresh snow to report.

The crazy snow situation continues into today.

Welcome to the long weekend! With Monday a holiday here in Japan, it's one of the main weekends of the season and so places expect to see quite a few people turn up.

I'm happy to report a lot more snow again this morning.
