There's just about enough of a dusting for me to feel justified in awarding 1cm to the reports this morning.

And there's some more snow to report this morning... another 4cm here at base. Yey!

Good morning from Niseko and it's an early report from me today as I need to get myself to Sapporo this morning.

What's this? Snow on the ground! I measure 4cm here outside my Hirafu base.

And I have a bit more snow to report this morning. 3cm of it according to my measuring stick.

And after the rain, there's a little bit of snow to report... there's just about enough for me to record 1cm of fresh to the report. I think 9mm deserves a 1cm, ne?

5cm more snow to report this morning - this is snow that fell yesterday.

What a lovely Saturday morning it is.

Good morning to you all from my secret base here in Hirafu and - just like yesterday - there's 12cm of fresh snow to report since I last posted. Nice.

And I have good news.

Just 1cm of snowfall from yesterday to add to the snowfall numbers this morning.

When I wrote the report yesterday morning the snow was really coming down nicely.

Good morning from Niseko and happily it's somewhat calmer this morning.

It's full-on stormy blizzard conditions again this morning.
