Cloud with light snowfall this morning.

Just slightly over 10cm of fresh to report this morning.

It is a cloudy/overcast kind of start to this Thursday morning, with the ski area reporting some light snow at Yamabiko.

Right, here we go. It's time for a refresh!

Snow from yesterday didn't really amount to much more than dustings, with the ski area reporting 3cm on upper slopes.

It is snowing this morning with just a little being reported by the ski area.

Just several cm of snow to report since yesterday morning at base.

Not feeling particularly cold still, with light snow falling on mountain and limited visibility especially at higher elevations.

Happy New Year from Nozawa Onsen! I wish you all well for 2025.

It is a fine and sunny morning across the region (some low cloud aside). Still quite cold, but it will be warming up by this afternoon as the sun gets to work.

Yesterday afternoon the ski area was reporting 20-30cm of snow across the mountain since morning and this morning there's another up to 50cm being reported.

Ski area reporting 30cm since yesterday afternoon (sorry, I was not able to check on any mid-day numbers) but there is another good thick layer of snow out there.

Greetings on this snowy Nozawa Onsen morning. There's a good 30cm of it around base areas.

Merry Christmas to you all from Nozawa Onsen. And it is a very fine morning here.
