There's no new snow to report to you this morning though I hear earlier on it was snowing very lightly higher up.

Sadly there were some strong winds again yesterday and I was over at Happo-one at lunchtime where lifts were affected.

Yesterday morning the wind was messing about with things - happily today there's no wind problem and as far as I can tell resorts opening as planned.

A fabulously happy morning to you from Hakuba where snow is arriving in style.

Resorts around the area seem to be generally reporting up to 10cm of fresh.

Hello and Happy Christmas and best wishes to everyone reading SnowJapan.

Morning from Hakuba and.... ho ho ho, it's Christmas Eve.

Light snow has been falling this morning in the valley and more no doubt up there on the mountains too where I am hearing conditions are quite windy too with poor visibility in places.

It's a stunner of a morning here in Hakuba. Some cloud around but lots of blue sky and bright sunshine.

As much as I don't want to have to report this, but it's raining this morning.

Good morning from Hakuba and there's more snow to report - generally resorts are reporting 15-30cm of snow from lower to upper areas.

It's snowing! Yes, it's coming down nicely at the moment.

Morning from Hakuba where it is cloudy and around 3 degrees and a bit wet with rain falling at the moment which will hopefully soon stop as the forecast tell us.
