Hello and a lovely fresh morning from Nozawa. Though I expect not everyone is feeling quite so fresh after the events of last night. As ever on that date in particular, Nozawa was bustling with life last night.
10cm of snowfall since last night and just cloudy skies to start the day off here. A bit wet lower down but would expect the conditions to be better higher up.
A significant refresh would be just the ticket now, and hopefully we'll get that overnight tonight. Temperatures look set to take a drop with snow due starting tonight and continuing through tomorrow.
During the day today though expecting mostly cloud - foggy conditions on Yamabiko early on - and fairly mild temperatures.
Lots of snow tonight please!
