We have a bit of sun this morning.

We did have some times when it eased off yesterday and was quite bright, but it never seems to last long at the moment.

Snow seems to be falling all over Japan today, and it really started to pick up here in Myoko from about 7 this morning.

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

Another rather modest showing of snow since yesterday with forecasts still telling us that snow is due today. Let's see.

Looking over to our east, the beautiful Mt. Yotei is looking particularly fetching this morning and wearing what looks like a flat-cap (cloud) as I write this. Very fashionable.

There's some fast moving cloud around this morning but blue sky too and some sun. Visibility is good.

It's cold out there this morning, with another layer of snow and - hopefully - there will be less wind today. It certainly doesn't feel as bad.

The ski area is reporting 20cm from up on the mountain and there's more than 10cm by base.

Nature decided to give us about 10cm of fresh snow which is most welcome but hopefully we are going to get more over the next couple of days.
