Whiteout yesterday with strong gusts and lifts affected.

In a contrast with yesterday, we have blue sky and sunshine this morning.

Some snow overnight and hopefully more during the day today.

Snowy scenes again this morning across Shiga Kogen.

It is very windy this morning and blowing the snow around.

Pretty heavy rain overnight that has (thankfully) turned to snow. Only about 7cm so far, but it’s still coming down.

VERY windy today in Furano, so while the resort initially only opened Lift C down low near the New Prince, that only lasted an hour and they closed that as well.

Happo didn't last all day yesterday due to winds on the mountain.

It is windy this morning, enough to almost certainly affect lift operations on the mountain.

Rain turned to snow and the ski area is reporting 15cm of fresh this morning... I've actually measured more than that! Not the fluffiest of snow, but we'll very gladly take it!
