Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 9cm
Snowfall at base this season 567cm
Posted on Saturday 11th February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
So we have had around 10cm of snow down at base since yesterday morning. Half of that during the day yesterday and half overnight. (Bit on the wet side, rather than the delightfully light and fluffy kind).
Saturday morning starts with cloudy skies, with a few hints of blue sky, and some light snow still apparently falling on upper areas. There is a fair chance that the clouds will clear during the day today. It is just under +1C at the moment.
Forecasts for tomorrow still point to a day of sunshine.
As always, Naski is looking bright and cheerful this morning. And particularly bright and green. I think he/she/they/(what's the pronoun for a skiing vegetable?) is excited about the prospect of snow Monday through Wednesday!
