Yesterday the snow eased off and it definitely felt milder than it had been.

Yesterday we enjoyed more snowfall through most of the day - there were a few small patches of blue sky in the afternoon from time to time but overnight the snow was falling again and outside SJHQ in Minamiuonuma.

The snow continued falling for most of the day yesterday, though it didn't actually result in that much more cm on the ground.

We have a decent amount of fresh snow on the ground and also things are looking good for ski resort openings over the next few days.

That was a very satisfying weekend! Lots of snow falling

I am happy to be able to report some decent snowfall, which is always something that makes me happy.

Good morning from a snowy Yuzawa. Yes, this is what we like to see! Snow on the ground, snow falling from the skies.

Good morning from Yuzawa and I can see fresh snow. Just a bit here around town with Kagura reporting up to 20cm of fresh snowfall.

Great to see some snow falling during the day yesterday.

Another fairly mild overnight and early morning with wet roads due to the rain before dawn.

Good morning from Yuzawa and the sun is shining through my window here right now.

Kagura is going to open today, officially starting the snow season here in Yuzawa.

Snow is falling this morning here in Yuzawa - down to town level as well.
