Snow is falling very lightly now on a mild day in Myoko.

After the stars came out last night things really turned around, and we have at least 30cm of fresh at the base of Akakan!

It's a beautiful day in Myoko today (although, of course, we'd rather see more pounding snow!). Looks like more snow after this bluebird morning.

I was kind of bummed last night when we were getting precipitation, but not of the white kind. The good news came later when we started to hear thunder—always a good sign up here that things may head to snow.

I'm sitting here waiting for the official report to come in (which since you're reading this, have in fact arrived).

I wasn't going to send out a report today, once I woke up and saw perfect blue skies, felt that warm sun on my face, and noticed that there was no additional snow on top of the 20cm or so out there.

The snow is falling today; looking a lot better, although the total on the ground is still only about 20cm (which is also the official word from Akakura Kanko).

The snow is falling—just not enough of it quite yet. Not a lot of accumulation following the 10cm or so that we had at the end of the day yesterday.

Not that much to report except that there is in fact snow on the ground this morning. Not much, now; don't get too excited just yet, as nice as that white stuff looks.

Happy to announce the first real snow of the year today!

Just a quick note here as November is coming to a close, and the weather is definitely looking more wintery this morning.

Ah, the November gloom and cold rain is here, reminding us that the preparations for the snowy season—like tying up the trees, slapping on the snow tires and getting the monster snowthrower ready - better get done soon!

A nice Golden Week day for a last report for the season: the snow is going, going, gone!

We've got cherry blossoms blooming on the roads leading up to the resort, blue skies for the weekend and a lot less snow.
