A lovely mix of cloud and blue sky during the day yesterday making for some dramatic scenery.

After more snow during the day yesterday, this morning we start with some blue sky.

It's snowing again. Not huge numbers from the ski areas this morning and I am actually reporting more.

The really good snow news just keeps on coming this season!

The news from Hakuba is very good.

And a very merry Christmas to everyone who loves those things.

More snow is due today, maybe some clearer skies and sun on Christmas morning and then more snow in the second half of the week.

Cloudy skies with snow still coming in, but also some breaks in the cloud away from the mountains.

We have more snow. And lots more snow.

Yesterday the snow clouds moved in again and were rewarding us with another mini-delivery.

Happo-one winning the 'most reported snowfall' award this morning with 30cm. Other ski areas are telling us snowy tales of between 5 and 20cm across the mountains.

We had some light snow that didn't amount to anything really yesterday, though it started to come down with more conviction later on.

Like, wow. I can think of lots of words, but I just don't think I need them.

Cloudy conditions with light snow falling in places at the moment, with potentially more heavy snow before tomorrow morning.
