Morning from Nozawa and the first day of February.
Light snow is falling this morning and just a couple of cm down at base with 5cm being reported by the resort on the top Yamabiko runs. The webcams show limited visibility on the upper parts of the mountain early on.
Snow showers on the forecast for most days over the coming week with the most potential for a decent amount of snow falling looking like it will be on Friday - before that it will probably just be light snow without that much in terms of new cm.
Still, it is keeping cold and should be so through the week.
Here's to a February that will bring lots of Nozawa-like snowfall.
