Posted on Monday 2nd March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It has been a fine morning so far with a gradually increasing amount of (still friendly looking) cloud around.
There be some snow on forecasts, but I'm not going to even attempt to predict what we should expect. We'll find out soon enough.
Tomorrow looks like it will be some kind of mix of rain and snow (lower to upper)?
I'll let you know, of course.
