Posted on Thursday 16th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It's a cloudy morning in Nozawa Onsen.
Some cloudy heads as well after the festival last night, of that I am sure! Fun was had.
So, back to the mountain...
After the mostly bright and sunny day we had yesterday, it's back to grey and white this morning. Just a dusting of snow at base and up to 5cm reported by the resort up on Uenotaira. Yesterday was a very cold day and temperatures this morning are not quite as low though as of 9am it is about -4 degrees in the village.
Hopefully we'll get a snow refresh overnight that I can report to you tomorrow morning and it should be snowing over the weekend as well.
