After a brief spell of milder conditions, this morning it is definitely colder and there's another very nice layer of snow to report.

After a bit of a break, I am happy to report that it is snowing this morning.

The good news continues this morning.

A bit on the mild side yesterday though light snow did continue.

Cloudy skies this morning with some light snow flurries around base areas and snow falling at higher elevations.

OK, I will admit it. I have a bit of a (self-inflicted) headache this morning.

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.
