No snow to report yet, I'm afraid - well, no cm here at base - but it is snowing this morning after a bit of wet sleet falling earlier on, and so far just a very slight dusting on my car outside.

Hopefully this is the start of something good.

Colder conditions and snowfall are on the forecast for the day today and into tomorrow, so I'll let you know how it goes in the morning.

Zao Onsen will open as soon as there is enough snow.
