Happy Chinese New Year! There are quite a lot of people here in Nozawa celebrating, and I hope you enjoy yourselves.
The top areas from the resort this morning report 10cm of fresh snow, with 5cm on Hikage. Just a thin dusting down at base.
It's all a bit... mild feeling just at the moment. Over the weekend we are told to expect the warmest temperatures of the year so far especially on Sunday and there may even be rain at higher elevations as well. We can only hope that won't happen.
Before then though, is that the chance of heavy snow I see on some forecasts tonight? It looks like it might be. Let's see, I will fill you in on that tomorrow morning.
Right now, lots of cloud, some blue sky here and there. The webcam seems to show early morning foggy conditions on upper areas.
