Weekend greetings from Nozawa.
Sunny and warm seems to be what we get this weekend, as expected, with the peak of it due tomorrow.
Chilly early morning but it will probably warm up quickly. Not as many layers required today, I think, and sunscreen recommended.
It is good to see still that Monday should be colder and we may even get a layer of fresh snow. That would be good.
I believe there's some hot chocolate going to be available at Hikage from 10:30cm this morning to celebrate Valentines Day. I don't know if Naski will be there, but it's probably a fairly good chance to meet the famous bright green vegetable.
