Yesterday there was a lot of cloud around for the most part, snowing lightly at times, quite windy, and even a bit of blue sky and sun at times in the afternoon.

There's pleasing news to report this morning with a very welcome fresh layer of snow everywhere.

Through yesterday there was light snow falling, especially in higher areas, though it really didn't result in much sticking on the ground.

Just a little more snow from the snow that continued mostly yesterday morning and another bit of a dusting overnight (enough to just about justify 2cm).

It is very good to see some fresh snow on the ground this morning.

Yesterday ended up more cloudy than we expected and it warmed up to around 14C in town early afternoon.

It's the last day of the long weekend here in Japan. And while ski areas will still probably be busy today, likely not as much as yesterday.

After some rain the snow started to stick on the roads around 11pm and here's how much new snowfall we have received overnight.

The weather yesterday was, for the most part, cloudy with some light snow in the early afternoon and again in the evening and overnight.

The snow started yesterday and at times it was really coming down full-on 'snow country style'. Love that.

Yesterday was mostly cloudy with some light snow falling at times and we have had several cm since yesterday.

The rain yesterday morning thankfully did turn into snow as it got colder during the day, and by this morning there was around 10cm of snow around town areas, though roads were quickly cleared.
