Light snow yesterday but it didn't amount to much during the day though in the evening the snow started falling with a bit more conviction and there was 10cm or so on top of the car by late night.

Another 10cm or so overnight at town level and it has been continuing to snow this morning. Interesting actually because from time to time the sun seems to be close to breaking through the clouds and even at one point we had some clear blue skies over town, only to be clouded over quite quickly. Even with the sun shining through at times though, the snow has continued to fall lightly. It's a battle between the snow clouds and the sun. Could it clear up? Right now it feels like it may well do.

Kagura reporting 20cm of snowfall; Naeba 15-20cm; Maiko 15-20cm.

Still, the local forecast as it stands at the moment is for snowfall through today and all of tomorrow as well.

-2C degrees overnight and it hasn't budged since then, still standing at -2.

Windy conditions apparently in places this morning, enough to cause problems at Kagura. Some lifts were closed earlier but seem to be up and running now, though the Dragondola connecting Naeba and Tashiro is closed still. No other resorts seem to be affected.
