Posted on Thursday 24th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Today is going to be a fine day (in a different way to how yesterday was also fine!)
Why? How about 30-40cm of fresh snowfall overnight?
More snow is due today and there's currently a cloud/light snow mix forecast for tomorrow.
And then, we have heavy snow forecast for Saturday.
Scary. But a very good scary. Limited visibility. Real care needed out there while you have your fun.
