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.

I'm going to try and avoid the feeling that I woke up very early morning to hear rain, but am happier to be able to report at least some fresh snow this morning.

Some sun was shining through yesterday but overnight the snow clouds have come back and delivered us with around 10cm of fresh snow.

Good morning from Nozawa. And it is looking like it will be a cracker.
