Mount Fuji Finally Receives Snow After Record Delay

TL;DR Summary
Snow has finally appeared on Mount Fuji after an unusually long period without its iconic snowcap, marking the longest delay in recorded history. Typically, snow begins to form on the mountain by early October, but this year, warm weather extended the snowless period. The Japanese national weather agency has yet to confirm the record due to cloud cover at their monitoring station.
