Posted on Monday 28th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
After a busy weekend in Nozawa here we are back on a Monday morning.
Some more snow during the daytime yesterday with the resort itself reporting 5-8cm across the mountain, and no additional snow overnight.
It is a cold, grey and cloudy start to the day - none of the sun we thought we might get (right now anyway, may still happen) - and we are still excepting more snow by this evening and overnight tonight and during most of the day tomorrow. Might get to be quite mild during the daytime before the snow arrives though with numbers in low positive numbers due in the village.
If you want some sun - maybe Wednesday might be a good choice.
Have a good one.
