Clouds slowly started to gather from around the middle of the day yesterday but it was generally a really fine day to out and about. Warm too.

It's another cold morning. Just a little snow being reported around the mountains this morning, numbers noted below.

We have had more snow over the last 24 hours (most of the number at base during the day yesterday) with ski areas generally reporting up to 20cm.

Yesterday was cold, snowy, windy and generally like peak mid winter day. And some excellent deep snow conditions out there.

Lots of snow being reported by the ski areas (see the numbers below) and I can report a measured very nice 28cm.

Fresh snow overnight!

There was still a lot of cloud around but blue sky and sunshine too later in the day yesterday.

There's more fresh snow on the ground to report this morning.

It was snowing through the day yesterday and I reckon about 10-15cm on upper areas during the day.

By yesterday afternoon Hakuba 47 were reporting about 10cm of fresh snow on their upper slopes. Snowing very nicely at times.

Yesterday remained a cloudy day and this morning... it's cloudy.

It's the long weekend with many people off work today due to the National Foundation Day national holiday.

Early this morning there were some beautiful shades of pink and blue and now there is some cloud around the mountains but a lot of blue sky and sunshine.

Yesterday was a cold and snowy day.
