Posted on Friday 3rd January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
The sun is out this morning over Nozawa and we have lovely (almost) clear blue skies.
Nice and cold.
Yesterday was more about the snow and it was snowing from early in the morning, quite heavily at times. The resort recorded between 5-15cm of snow between 8am and 4pm during the day (interestingly with the 15cm in the Hikage area, not top Yamabiko - which recorded 5cm). Wind may have played a part there though.
Anyway there's no new snowfall this morning since yesterday.
It should be a very fine day, with perhaps a return to snowfall tomorrow.
Official snow depths:
Yamabiko - 205cm
Uenotaira - 170cm
Hikage - 95cm
Nagasaka - 85cm
Karasawa - 65cm
