Another delivery of snowfall at base this morning. The numbers I am able to report are getting a bit larger too - I have measured 13cm of very fine quality looking snowfall to add this morning.

Santa-san has brought some snowfall with him. Steady as we go with me being able to measure just under 10cm of snowfall since yesterday morning.

It's Christmas! (I'll say that again tomorrow, just so we're all catered for).

Good morning on this eve of the big day, Christmas Eve. (Ordered your Kentucky Friend Chicken yet? It's an ancient Japanese tradition - ask your Japanese friend for more details).

The steady delivery of snowfall has continued and I have (slightly over) 10cm of fresh snowfall to add this morning.

I have measured another modest amount of snow this morning, I am measuring 9cm.

I have another layer of snow to report to you this morning, almost 10cm.

There isn't a huge amount of snowfall to report to you - I have measured 6cm outside on the ground - but it is feeling colder.

It is most definitely colder this morning and you can see the difference in the fresh snowfall that we have down to base overnight.

To start the weekend off I have 7cm of fresh snowfall to report from here by base. Cloudy and grey and not much of a wind.

Happily, we have an improved situation this morning. (Phew!)

A happy Sunday morning to you all from a cold and snowy Niseko.

A fine day was had yesterday. Oh yes.

I have more good news this morning after snow heavy snow overnight. I measured an additional 21cm of beautiful light fresh snow on the ground around my secret base lair.
