I spent most of the day yesterday in Nagaoka City which is north of Yuzawa and came back in the evening to some light snowfall in Yuzawa though no new cm on the ground.

It was snowing for most of the day yesterday - and actually coming down pretty good during the day on the mountain.

Good morning from Yuzawa where there has just been a dusting of snow overnight and light snow is falling now in the Ishiuchi area just to the north of central Yuzawa (where I am posting from this morning).

This morning it is snowing and there's 3cm fresh on the ground.

Morning from Yuzawa, and after the snow falling yesterday and last night, there has been an additional 12cm of fresh on the ground according to my measurements.

We enjoyed more snowfall through most of the day yesterday (and yes, we did get a few short periods where it backed off like the day before) and it was snowing pretty good for most of the day.

Yesterday saw what was surely the most full-on winter conditions we have had this season so far.

This morning I got up around 7:30am and looked out of the window hoping to see heavy snow falling only to see.... calm and quite clear skies.

A good morning to you from Yuzawa where it was snowing for large parts of yesterday and there has been 4cm or so more overnight as well.

Good morning from Yuzawa where has been more snow since the last report... 8cm outside my place here in town.

Hello from Yuzawa and it is a much happier report this morning.

Yesterday some of the forecasts insisted that it should be snowing all day in Yuzawa, but it was a really beautiful day with lots of blue sky.

Woke up this morning and looked out of the window to see.... clear blue skies.

Nature really isn't making these reports easy this season, that's for sure!
