Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano Prefecture
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 0cm
Good morning from Nozawa.
We are now now 5 weeks away from the planned opening date of Saturday 28th November.
We had some warmth this last week, followed by colder conditions, with some rain due today. It will probably get to around 15C or 16C in the village this afternoon.
It looks like temps are set to drop further around the middle of the coming week, and higher locations might get some snow (though it will probably still be rain down in the village).
For now there's not much else to report.
