New snowfall at base 8cm
Snowfall at base this season 675cm
Posted on Saturday 15th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
After a cold night the sun is shining and we have blue skies above Nozawa.
Oh yes, some new snow to play in too! The resort is reporting 15-18cm of fresh up on the top areas of the mountain this morning, up to 10cm on lower areas, so there will be some good tracks to be made up there as I sit down here writing this.
So it is a cold start to the day and with the fresh snow conditions should be great. There's hardly any wind and it's just a really fine morning.
Sunny conditions are expected tomorrow as well, and while it will get cold again tonight it's expected to warm up considerably during the day tomorrow and we may well get some precipitation later. Hopefully the white kind.
It's expected to be warm over the next week or so. Is that a dip in temperatures I can see on the forecast for later in the week?
