I measured 13cm of fresh snowfall this morning since my report yesterday.

Bit by bit, we are getting fresh snowfall - though I'd prefer the tap be set to 'fully open'!

Just 2cm of fresh snow this morning but with a bit more of the resort opening - namely part of Uwanodai area.

The sun was out yesterday but the news this morning (apart from the nearly 10cm of fresh snow on the ground) is that the Chuo Number 1 pair lift will be operating today.

It's a fine morning here in Zao, but importantly there's 3cm of fresh snow on the ground here at base as well.

There was some rain yesterday but the sooner we forget that the better.

2cm more fresh snow to report from Zao Onsen.

Hello again from Zao, and there's another dusting of snow to report - well actually 2cm outside my place.

And another 2cm of fresh snowfall to add to the report today.

There has been more snow, so another quick update report.

Greetings from here in Zao Onsen where we have some snow to report.

It has been a beautiful autumn - it always is! - and in recent weeks and days it has been getting decidedly colder.
