Posted on Thursday 26th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It is a beautiful early morning in Nozawa.
More snow during the day yesterday and a bit further overnight, and this morning the scene is set for what will surely be one of the best of the season so far. I love it when there's lots of fresh snow and the weather is like this; I'm sure lots of other folk do too.
It's a cold start but will warm up a bit during the day - not as much as tomorrow though when temperatures may (according to the local forecast) rise to about +6C in the afternoon. Would be nice if we could avoid that please.
In the meantime it should be a fantastic day.
