Lots of snow again this morning. The resort reporting 20cm; I am measuring 26cm.

The resort itself isn't reporting any snowfall, but I am measuring 5cm of snow since my report yesterday.

Snow continues to fall folks and don't we just LOVE it!

Hello and welcome to the start of what looks like should be a very snowy week.

A bit of left-overs since my last report (and no fresh overnight) but this morning there are lovely blue skies above our mountain as the weekend gets started.

Good morning from Madarao. Snow alert!

Well, snow yesterday and this morning there are beautiful blue skies above the mountain which is looking truly delicious. I want to take a big bite.

A quick early one this morning but I bring good news, measuring 13cm of fresh snow and snow is forecast for the day so fingers crossed it will build up further.

I need to clearly note that I am in Matsumoto this morning so I am going on what my (trusted) friend is telling me. I will check again later and adjusting if necessary.

It's shaping up to be a great morning here. Some cloud still around after the snow-fest of yesterday; the resort is not reporting any fresh but I have some to report since writing yesterday.

Heavy, as in falling quickly and building up. Light, as in light and fluffy.

We had some variable weather conditions yesterday in the end.

I remember saying yesterday that the snow might build up again, but that didn't last long and this morning the resort are reporting 0cm of fresh which seems quite surprising.

The resort is reporting 15cm on their official website for 24 hours; and 10cm in a short period from early morning.
