Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 721cm

Posted on Saturday 24th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.


It's a cold start to the morning in Nozawa and still lots of clouds around but we're expecting a clear up quite quickly with the sun to be shining down on us before too long. So it should warm a little as well with a high of +1 forecast later, so not too much.


I wasn't around to catch how much snow the resort recorded by the afternoon, so the numbers below are since then and the resort is late in posting lower numbers this morning. I'm guessing up to 10cm more than those up top, but... that's just a guess. Whatever, there's a good new 20cm of fresh snow up on the top areas of the mountain this morning and I would expect the much better conditions up there this morning (obviously).


Forecast for today is sun then but what about tomorrow. Chance of light snow during the night but a mix of cloud and sun is on the local forecast for now.


Have a great weekend wherever you are.
