Well, here we are on the last day of the winter season at Madarao. The season has come and gone way too fast (as always), but I have had a blast (as always).

Unfortunately it looks like there is a chance of rain tomorrow. Come on nature, give us a bit of snow on that last day.

Not sure I was expecting fresh snow on the ground this morning with the blustery and stormy kind of weather we were getting overnight. Noisy rain and wind.

I wanted to get up and out and about early this morning with the promise of clearer skies, Monday morning 'crowds' (lack of) and that fresh snow from yesterday.

Fresh snow as we enter the last week of the season here at Madarao? Yes, a nice layer of snow on the ground as the snow clouds continue to deposit some fresh.

There's a bit of fresh snow to report this morning.

With just over two weeks to go, we get another blast of winter like conditions and around 20cm of fresh snow.

Just a bit more snow from yesterday morning before it clearer.

It really is a good morning it is too with some decent fresh snow around.

It's another remote report this morning as I had to come here to Matsumoto all of a sudden yesterday. So this information is coming to you from the resort (I will adjust/edit as necessary later/tomorrow morning).

The wet of yesterday turned into snow later on and this morning the resort is reporting about 5cm of fresh snow.

Some early cloud around but there's also blue sky and the sun as we approach 8am. I guess it is going to turn into a fine day.

Cloudy with fog this morning and 7cm of fresh snow to report (the resort itself is reporting 5cm this morning).
