Morning from Nozawa.
No fresh snow overnight after it cleared up yesterday to leave us with some lovely blue skies this morning. It's a cold start but it should warm up a bit.
We're expecting clouds to move in and start bringing us fresh snowfall sometime later on today (this afternoon? this evening?) and I should be able to bring you news of fresh snow in my report tomorrow; and snow clouds to be with us through Monday and Tuesday as well. Sounds like a plan.
In the meantime it is a lovely start to this Sunday morning and a lot of people around to enjoy Nozawa. Hope you can too, see you out there.
