Snow is forecast for later in the day, but right now it's sunny and nice out there.

Another jaw dropper: it kept on snowing overnight and into the morning! It looks like... it looks like a good December out there (we have no snow walls to mention this year).

Unbelievable: Myoko-style snow has returned.

The sun's out again - this is getting a bit repetitive this year!

A quick report, as I'm out in town today... pretty gray out there, with fog and some very light snow coming down from time to time. VERY light, as in just a dusting on the trees.

Yesterday's warming is over; we got some rain from the late afternoon into the night, even pretty heavy around 7, but the moon came out around 10 and the rain stopped.

A good day of snow, followed by a cloudless sky... Like to see more continuous days of snow, but we got a pretty good addition to the snowpack.

It's back: the snow started falling this morning, and it's going hard at the moment.

A good day and night of snow - real Myoko-style, hard-to-drive snow.

Yesterday the snow was disappearing fast; it rained; it was unusually warm.

A real Myoko day: 50+cm of fresh, an evening of snow so thick it looks like fog; and that fantastic feeling under the boots, with soft snow up to the ankles.

A super-bluebird day in Myoko today; not a cloud in the local sky, cold temps, bright white snow.

Oh, it is snowing out there today, and it's the real, big-flake, some-centimeters-per-hour kind now. Warms my heart just looking out the window (but also spurs me to some action on the slopes!).

An early-morning departure this morning, and only Akakura Onsen has made its report for the day, but it feels like the calm before the storm today.
