Mt. Fuji - First Snow (初冠雪)

This Saturday morning, apart from dawning crisp and clear, also brought the first snow to the peak of Mt. Fuji. In Japanese, this is called hatsukansetsu (はつかんせつ), which literally translated means "first snow-capped peak".

We got a couple of photos of this year's first snow-capped peak from our balcony here in Susono city:

Fuji-san with snow. I thought it always had snow on the peak or is that a thing of the past what with global warming?
