Posted on Monday 3rd March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Another thin sprinkling of snow since yesterday again here in Nozawa - the resort is reporting just a few cm up on Yamabiko, 1cm on lower slopes. Light snow falling early in the morning but probably going to ease off later. Currently 0 degrees in the village.
Tomorrow we expect clear weather conditions though it shouldn't warm up too much, certainly not like what we had last year.
Then it's back to snowfall on Wednesday, though there's a good chance that it will at least start off as rain in the village. Straight to snow up on the mountain though hopefully. From Thursday onwards temperatures should be back into negative numbers.
Official snow depths:
Yamabiko - 300cm
