Fresh snow in Zao this morning with around 15cm on the ground here in the village.

Seems a while since we had some blue skies and sunshine to enjoy, buy that's what we got this morning.

Very cold night last night with the wind and today wind is a factor - some lifts stopped today due to winds including the Sky Cable Gondola, though the other Ropeways seems to be moving.

Good new amount of fresh snow on the ground this morning in Zao and it's another whiteout morning on the mountain.

It's back to cold this morning and some decent snowfall happening outside.

A few cm overnight and some from yesterday during the day time give us more fresh on this cold morning... but somewhat milder temps expected today.

White out conditions on upper areas of the mountain and not far off that lower down too with lots of low cloud around.

Coldest morning of the season. And by the looks of the other reports it seems it's a very cold start to the day Japan-wide!

Morning from Zao, and it was just a cloudy one to start us off and there has been light snow falling at times but not the kind that will add up to new cm.

The sun is out at the moment this morning with more blue sky appearing.

The festival did take place last night with snow falling all around us - the stormy conditions didn't spoil things and it went ahead as did the fireworks.

Hello and good morning from a snowy Zao. Just a few cm of fresh snow to report but more is expected through the day today, tonight and also into tomorrow.

Nice and cold once again after that rather warm day yesterday in particular, with just a sprinkling of snow on the ground.

I can actually see stuff this morning!
