Morning from Nozawa and just look at that - just under another 40cm of snow being reported by the resort since yesterday on the top Yamabiko area of the resort.

I was just reading the Madarao report and basically it's the same here... sunny, blue skies above the region.

Some more fresh snow this morning though perhaps not as much as expected.

After the sun and blue skies of yesterday, it's all change again this morning.

It's a beautiful morning in Nozawa with mostly blue skies and sunshine.
