A modest 3cm of fresh snow to report to you this morning with (very) light snow falling as I write this.

A bit disappointing that there is only a small amount of fresh snow to report this morning.

Good morning and a very Happy New Year to you all!

There is no fresh snowfall to report this morning. Which means that I have observed a total of 594cm of snowfall here at base up until now this season.

And I have another 22cm of quality fresh snowfall to report to you from base this morning.

I am measuring 25cm of fresh snow this morning as it continues to fall; and quite heavily too.

The snow continues to build up and rather quickly at that. I have another 28cm of fresh snowfall here at base to report to you this morning.

The strong winds, heavy snowfall and very cold conditions have continued.

I promised better news this morning. And yes, sort of because it has got much colder once again and we do have some fresh snow.

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas! Again!

Merry Christmas. Yes, here in Japan Christmas Eve (night) seems to be 'Christmas' more than Christmas Day itself.

Santa is in town. Reports from Nozawa this morning are obviously 'fake' - perhaps my reporting friend down there has just been misled...

This morning I measured 11cm of fresh snowfall to add to the report as the snow keeps on piling up.

A very good morning to you from Niseko. Is it still snowing? Yes, it most certainly is.
