Resorts are this morning reporting up to 10-15cm of fresh snowfall, with 4cm on the ground here.

There is more fresh snow to report this morning though it was actually raining as the day ended yesterday - it was one of those 'not again!' kind of feelings...

Good morning from Yuzawa... and what a beautiful morning it is!

Those forecasts about weather being the stuff of March-April yesterday? They were right. It was like spring. Late spring almost!

There's no fresh cm of snowfall to report this morning though it was snowing for parts of yesterday, just nothing major.

I am happy to report a snowy start to 2016 with 12cm measured just before outside my place and it would seem resorts around town reporting 10-15cm of fresh snow on the slopes.
