Heavy snowfall to report from Zao this morning with a good 30cm on the ground.

I was just reading some of the other reports to see how they were doing... it looks like Japan is having a very nice early season.

9cm of it at base on this very cold morning.

Just here to report 1cm of fresh snowfall earlier this morning with snow forecast today and tomorrow.

Snow has been falling again. Down to village level here on Thursday with the first proper snow of the season.
