It is a beautiful morning with clear blue sky and sunshine, and just some limited friendly-looking little cloud in places.

Another nice snowfall overnight, pretty light it seems, at least using the highly scientific what-comes-out-of-my-snowthrower test (tons of light flying powder.

Same-o, same-o. No fundamental change in weather or conditions.

Snow clouds above us and light snow falling early on. Not much snow being reported by ski areas since yesterday - 3cm is all I can find from Goryu.

Some ski areas reporting up to 10cm of fresh on upper areas this morning, with just up to a few cm in places around base areas.

Back to snow this morning and the ski area is reporting 15cm and my measurement is pretty much the same.

We have had some more snow (Yakebitaiyama early morning reporting 10cm), but as I write this there is actually a bit of sun shining through my window.

Morning from Nozawa and the fresh snow is back.

Some nice weather yesterday with a bit of snowfall overnight. Ski area reports up to 14cm.

Very early clouds quickly parted yesterday morning and we enjoyed some sun and blue skies, particularly up until mid-morning.
