There's some cloud but the sun is going to be shining this morning.

Oh yes. Some people may not like this kind of huge dumpage - I'll call them silly people - but I love it.

There is lots of cloud around this morning but are some of them perhaps retreating?

Yesterday it was snowing during the day with 5cm on the ground by late afternoon.

I must admit to getting a little worried yesterday with the milder and wet conditions, but this morning things are looking much better.

I had my best day of the season yesterday. Brilliant.

A nice surprise this morning and for some reason I wasn't expecting this much. I like being surprised this way though!

A really nice morning yesterday.

There's some low cloud over the village early on but clearer skies up above with the sun shining down on the mountain.

Yes, the snow has continued and we have another decent amount since yesterday.

Snow snow snow! Tons of it.

The official snowfall numbers from the resort are a bit all over the place since yesterday - with around 10-30cm reported by the afternoon and another 10-15cm this morning, leaving us with the numbers shown below.

It is a very good morning here in Nozawa.

Happy Christmas! I spotted Santa on some skis yesterday talking with our favourite skiing vegetable Nozawa mascot, Nasuki. Good to see them getting along.
