It's almost 9am and it's still snowing lightly (at least in places), but at the same time it's quite bright too and visibility is generally good.

The storm is over and we enter (probably) a few days of calmer and clearer skies.

Quick early one today as I need to get down to Nakano. More snow since the report yesterday and it is still snowing.

Very heavy snowfall over the last day or so and it is still snowing.

Phew, just been out shovelling. It's really cold outside and blowing snow. Good old mid-winter conditions.

We're enjoying a bit of sunshine right now, in between bouts of snowfall.

Ended up with some fine weather yesterday afternoon but we're back to snow again this morning.

Cold, moderate snowfall and wind this morning with generally poor visibility. It's stormy out there. Some lifts are going to be affected.

It's a fine morning here in Shiga Kogen. Clear blue skies and sunshine, with cold temperatures and associated nice snow conditions. Beautiful.

Another 10cm or so in places since the report yesterday morning, though it is (as so often is the case) going to vary where you are.

It's one of those mornings with a bunch of different conditions going on at the same time.

Hey, the sun is out! Blue sky too. Just a few small white clouds remaining.

Snowing very nicely at the moment, though because of it visibility is limited. It feels colder this morning to me.

Yesterday was a mild day. It felt a bit like March; more March than January anyway. Feels colder this morning, and it's snowing again.
