Posted on Thursday 23rd January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
After all that talk of numbers yesterday, get a load of this. Snowfall reported by the resort since yesterday morning, after the snowfall we had yesterday during the day time and overnight.
Yamabiko - 34cm
Uenotaira - 40cm
Hikage - 45cm
Nagasaka - 40cm
Karasawa - 35cm
Yamabiko snow depth is also back up to 3m this morning.
Yes, it has been a Nozawa-like snowy 24 hours here. A bit of a surprise at just how much we have got, but a good surprise.
It is continuing to snow as well, so let's get some more out of it. The forecast does tell us to expect the snow clouds to ease off though during the day, to be followed by a clear and sunny day tomorrow. As I mentioned before temps are set to creep up a bit from tomorrow for a few days and we still might get some rain late Saturday though hopefully that will be kept to a minimum and it will be snowing where it really matters - on the slopes. We'll see.
For now though should be fantastic conditions this morning and then that possibly bluebird tomorrow.
Nice!
