Posted on Friday 3rd April 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
The sun is out this morning.
Tomorrow is the weekend, of course, but we are probably going to get rained on. No way round it. Hopefully it can kept to a minimum and Sunday might be improved.
By the way, I am away this weekend and will be unable to post a report --- I will be back on Monday.
