Over 20cm of new snow at village level and well over 30cm up top this morning in Zao. Zao is never foward at pushing big snow depth numbers, but we are up to 2m at Utopia this morning.

About 12cm of new snow in village by reckoning this morning as it continues to snow.

Another clearer start to the day followed quickly by more clouding over in Zao this morning.

The day started off fine here in Zao with a few cm of new snowfall, a temperature of about -5C at breakfast time and the sun making everything look ever so pretty.

Good morning from Zao. It's -7C outside and we have a few more cm of snow to report from here.

Another small amount of new snowfall in Zao Onsen this morning.

Yesterday we had some clearer skies at times and this morning we start off with fast moving clouds but it is bright and the sun has been out at times.

About 30cm of new snowfall on the ground this morning in Zao and some more snow falling today down to village along with a moderate wind.

Somewhat strange weather at the moment.

How would you like 20cm of fresh snowfall?

I'm afraid the snow didn't get too much later on yesterday as hoped and I don't have any new cm to report this morning.

Good morning from Zao. Poor visibility outside this morning I can see almost none of the mountain from the village area.

Good morning from Zao Onsen and it's a chilly and cloudy one.

A brighter morning early on in Zao, though cloudier now than it was a while ago when I was first up.
