Posted on Thursday 6th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
Uenotaira pulled through later in the morning yesterday - they must have been moving tons of snow as they ended up reporting 50cm of fresh snow with the snow depth up there jumping up to 235cm. Impressive. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get up there to sample, but I heard brave stories of happiness at being able to play in the new snow.
It didn't clear up in the end yesterday and was snowing for most of the time. This morning it is still snowing lightly and the resort is reporting 8cm of fresh snow on the Nagasaka and Hikage areas, 10cm on Uenotaira and 15cm up at Yamabiko.
Keeping cold and as of 9am about -6 degrees here in the village area, with a low temperature of -13 degrees on the mountain. It should be snow showers for the day today with a break from snowfall tomorrow (just cloud?)...... and some potentially heavy snowfall again coming over the weekend.
Yokatta, great to see winter return. I am going to get up there today to sample the new snow.
