Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 25cm
Snowfall at base this season 889cm
Posted on Saturday 14th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Snow awaited me though with a nice layer of new snow on the ground - resort reporting up to 35cm in places since yesterday morning.
It has been snowing this morning but as I write this now there's a few breaks in the cloud and even a bit of sunshine as well.
Snow is the forecast for the day though, with a chance of heavy snowfall conditions later and overnight. Perhaps easing off later tomorrow.
But after the chance of some sun early week, it'll be back to snow mid week. Sounds good to me.
I'm off up the mountain now! Until tomorrow.
