Mixed conditions this morning. The sun is out down here at base, but still quite a lot of cloud up top and it was snowing earlier on this morning.

Hello and good morning from Nozawa where light snow has been falling from the skies this morning.

Morning from Nozawa and it has continued snowing here on the mountain and down in the village.

More snow in Nozawa. Yes, the last run of days since late last week has really felt more like a 'normal' Nozawa with the consistent snowfall.

After that somewhat wild weekend, things have calmed down somewhat now.

Snow, snow and lots more snow.

I am the bearer of good news this morning.

Good morning from Nozawa and... it's snowing.

Some of the images coming from Tokyo and surrounding areas are interesting - all that snow!

I was hoping to bring news of decent numbers this morning, but it's just 5cm or so on most of the mountain with the Karasawa are reporting a lonely 0cm.

Yesterday was another really good day out on the mountain and some fine stashes of snow to be found.

Uenotaira pulled through later in the morning yesterday - they must have been moving tons of snow as they ended up reporting 50cm of fresh snow with the snow depth up there jumping up to 235cm.

I am very happy to be able to report lots of fresh snow down here in the village area and just hearing the numbers from the resort.

I'm happy to report that after another mild day, temperatures have been dropping since late last night.
