Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 180cm
Posted on Friday 22nd January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Morning from Nozawa and just a few cm down here at base really with the resort reporting 3-7cm of fresh snowfall since yesterday.
Very light snow falling as I write this with light snow forecast for pretty much all of the day today.
Tomorrow might start off cloudy (maybe even a bit of sunshine according to some forecasts), but by the end of the day it should be snowing and there's a good chance of heavy snowfall going into Sunday as well.
Feels cold this morning and now -2 here in the village and it probably won't change much during the day. Expect Sunday in particular to be colder.
Fingers crossed!
