Snow to report this morning - the branches of the trees outside my place are looking loaded and very pretty this morning.

A fine morning yesterday with lots of blue sky and then increasingly clouding over in the afternoon.

I am still not feeling myself this morning, but am happy to be able to quickly report fresh snowfall to you.

Hello and a good morning to you from Hakuba.

It was a cloudy start to the day but clearing up now.

Brrrr, it's a very cold start to the morning.

Now this is what we want. Heavy snowfall with some resorts reporting 50cm of fresh snowfall. I like the sound of that.

And here are your morning 'fresh snowfall' headlines from around the resorts...

After a run of very cold days yesterday was somewhat milder, but cold enough on upper areas to keep the snow in decent conditions.

It doesn't feel as cold this morning and the temperatures being reported by the ski resorts reflect that.

And here are your fresh snowfall headlines from around the resorts...

Enjoy your New Years Day? I was out at 47 with a group of folk from Australia and New Zealand in the afternoon.

Good morning Hakuba fans! And a very Happy New Year to you all. Let's hope that 2019 will be a great one for Hakuba.

Ah, the last day of the year.
