Good morning from Nozawa.
It has been really cold yesterday and this morning too.. I was up there yesterday wishing I had an extra layer on. Won't make that mistake today!
But I'm definitely heading out there to enjoy another fine delivery of fresh snow. I'm measuring 30cm. 25-40cm is being reported by the resort since yesterday morning (with 15-25cm of that being reported during the day yesterday), so there should be lots of untouched to be found.
The clouds should be dispersing by late tonight and we are expecting some lovely clear weather from the start of tomorrow which is going to be just excellent.
Today will be too, just remember that extra layer and goggles.
Remember, be excited but take care out there and stay safe.
