It's not a very inspiring morning - cloud, fog, spots of rain.

Yesterday afternoon the ski area said they had 5-8cm of fresh snow on the upper areas.

In their update at 3pm yesterday the ski area was reporting light rain at base and light snow up on the top areas, along with 1cm of snow.

Light snow this morning on the mountain with the ski area reporting up to 5cm on upper areas.

Listen to this... the ski area was reporting 30cm of fresh snow up at Yamabiko yesterday afternoon... and another 35cm this morning.

It feels colder this morning! And later in the day wet turned into snow overnight.

There's sun and clearer skies in some places in the region. For the moment we have some cloud over us here, but the sun just starting to break through in lower areas. It feels like it is going to clear up.
