Posted on Friday 12th February 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Just a little snowfall to report during the day yesterday, the resort itself saying there was 4-5cm on the upper Yamabiko and Uenotairs areas.
Sunny skies with some thin cloud lingering as we approach 9am on this Friday morning. That's what we have forecast for the day along with mild temperatures, high of around 5C or 6C in the village.
Tomorrow will be warmer still. Some forecasts seem to be showing the chance of a cloudy day, but local forecasts all point to a 'full on sunny' kind of day.
The fine weather will probably bring a lot of people out and about.
Don't worry, fresh powder fans. It'll be back to snow and plunging temps once again by mid week next week.
I'm just going to enjoy what we got, while we got it!
