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.

Ah, I'm glad it's today and not yesterday. Because rather than wet stuff, it's a story of fresh snow this morning. Yey!

It's colder this morning after a very mild day yesterday; and thankfully less windy too.

It is a beautiful early morning in Nozawa.

It has been really cold yesterday and this morning too.. I was up there yesterday wishing I had an extra layer on.

Morning from another snowing morning here in Nozawa. It's cold too.

Hello and welcome to Monday morning. And what better way to start the day than news of another 30cm or so of fresh snow.

No fresh snow overnight after it cleared up yesterday to leave us with some lovely blue skies this morning.

Fresh snow on the ground again with 5-10cm being reported by the resort and snow continuing to fall now though it's not expected to last the day.

After that fine day yesterday, it's back to snow this morning.
