Posted on Friday 13th March 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Morning from Nozawa and some more snow overnight as this run of winter like weather continues.
10-20cm on most of the mountain since my report yesterday morning with more of that happening during the day yesterday than overnight.
A mix of conditions this morning with light snow at times, cloud and even a bit of sun as well. Can't seem to make up it's mind what to do.
Maybe it's spring trying to take back control. Looks like it will win out as well come Sunday and onwards into next week with some very warm conditions on the forecast.
Fingers crossed it will stay cold at least until tomorrow so we can have a good start to the weekend.
