Posted on Wednesday 18th December 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
After some clearer and not-as-cold yesterday, we start this morning with a modest amount of fresh snow on the ground and the skijo is reporting 7cm overnight.
Today should be a cold day and we do expect snow today and during the day tomorrow too. Let's see how much Nature decides to bless us with!
Right now forecasts are saying clearer and sunny maybe Friday and Saturday with some moderate to heavy snow possibly going into Sunday and Monday. That looks like it has real potential!
