Just a bit of a dusting really since yesterday, with the ski area reporting 5cm at Yamabiko.

Early morning we have had some blue sky but it is largely cloudy.

Yesterday we had spells of bright sunny skies but it was snowing again from around lunchtime and quite heavily at times.

It's a fine morning here with a lot of blue sky, sun and a bit of cloud here and there.

We enjoyed some good snowfall yesterday, with another 10cm to add since the early morning report yesterday.

Another early morning on the hill today, so I hope we have some fresh news in by the time I have to take off.

Good morning from Nozawa and there's a lot of people lining up for the first gondola of the day.

Great snow overnight, and I have to run!

Fresh snow overnight amounting to 10-20cm.

The snow clouds remain with another 10cm or so since yesterday and it coming down moderately now at 8:30am.
