We had a bit of snow last night, 9 cm to be precise. Semi-heavy, very packable.

Down to -16 C last night, so there is no danger of any snow melting any time soon.

Certainly cooler today, and the lovely sunshine has just popped out after being in hiding all morning.

All that promising snowfall yesterday added up to only 3 cm of snow. It's just the way this winter has been.

It's a wonderful snowy day here in Furano. It's been snowing since I got up, and we've got 4 cm of new snow so far.

Pretty much the same as yesterday, except cloudier.

A great day to hit the slopes. 3 cm of new snow.

One of the best days so far this season! 18 cm of new snow, very light and fwuffy.

Cheerfully coming to you live from Furano! Cheerful, because the temps have held and it is snowing.

If you've been thinking about a rest day, then Mother Nature has conspired to provide you an excuse.

Another nice chunk of snow overnight, and of decent quality.

It's snowing nicely again today, so that officially makes it a Good Day.

An interesting morning here slopeside in Furano.

Like so many times this season, a promising snow dies out in a few hours. Sigh.
