Morning from Nozawa.
Ah, I'm glad it's today and not yesterday. Because rather than wet stuff, it's a story of fresh snow this morning. Yey!
And there's a fair difference in amounts too with 45cm being reported on top Yamabiko areas since yesterday morning and just 10cm from Karasawa. My measured number is 24cm.
So a nice new layer pretty much everywhere I would say; a good refresh.
Light snow has still been falling early on but it's expected to stop soon with the forecast generally for cloudy weather today, but snow is forecast from tomorrow night too.
From today, it looks like lifts will be open for an extra 30 minutes at the end of the day. More time to slide.
