Thanks to the SnowJapan team for helping out over the past two days - and, yes, I have some interesting information, following our report for today.

A stand in reporter today from Myoko as the famous Mr Myoko Now takes a well-earned rest after an eventful day/night... I think he will very probably tell you more about all of that in his report tomorrow.

Yesterday was one of the classic Myoko snow days. So much snow, and it kept on coming.

After a nice, sunny Friday, the snow really turned on yesterday, with -- what should we say? 50cm? 70cm? I was skiing in it, so I'm allowed some hyperbole.

For the record, very heavy snowfall. Update coming tomorrow.

An early report today, as I need to get out and on the road - and in the snow!

Sorry for the late report, but...I told you so! Yesterday's fine weather just seemed too strange, and it was.

There's a great word that pilots and sailors use - "sucker hole" - for a short spell of nice weather that suckers you into thinking it's going to be a nice day.

Snow is falling, and it seems to be picking up in quantity (and the quality doesn't look too bad either!).

A new snow cycle has begun after one sunny day.

After a day of steady snowfall, the stars came out about 9 pm--following some beautiful, big, star-shaped flakes floating down (wish we had more of those, instead of the smaller, wind-packed flakes that made things slow in the powder except on steeper slopes).

Be careful what you wish for: one of the fine people behind this website and I were chatting yesterday about how we miss the almost-emergency days of the past few years when the snow takes over daily life.... well, it almost happened today.

It was looking like just a gray day until just a few minutes ago, and then some light snow started to fall again.

No official snow reports out yet, but we got very little snow since yesterday--just a light dusting.
