All that talk of heavy snow (NHK!) has not come to anything in Myoko (although the TV did show us the “heavy” snow falling in Kanagawa).

The rain has turned to light snow; the national news is still reporting that it could really snow tomorrow.

Strong north winds through the day and especially in the evening yesterday.

Surprise again, as we got just under an inch of snow (more little graupel, or soft hail pellets).

Snow on the ground this morning - and happy to see more, as the snow walls along the roads are really, really low.

Sunny and nice today, a little fresh snow on top.

We got the rain, we got the wind, but we didn’t get the heavy snow some sites were predicting.

That wind keeps on blowing; once again, it’s shifted from the north to the southwest, and the snow that north wind was bringing has now ended.

Yesterday’s strange weather resulted in a little more snow than the forecasted 10cm, so we have some nice soft stuff on top of a good solid base.

The snow kept on coming through the day yesterday - nice, big flakes. It just have done something to the resort’s collective brains, though; a lot don’t have new reports ready yet (at 8 am plus).

Another nice surprise this morning: when elderly dog needed an early morning excursion, she was met with a big drift of snow right outside the door.

Nice surprise this morning to wake up to a little fresh snow. Not a lot, but really light snow, and it keeps falling, so we keep hoping for more.

Beautiful, sparkly flakes on the surface of the snow this morning; we got about 4cm in total, but it was of real snowflakes.

There was a lot of snow falling yesterday, lots of wind and blowing.. the total wasn’t as dramatic as might have been expected, especially with drifts covering cars.
