Posted on Friday 7th February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
It has really been coming down at times (snowing) in the last hour. Naski has only been out at Hikage since 8am and is already wearing a snow hat.
More snow, and then some more snow, followed by a bit more snow... is what we expect over the next 3 days or so.
Sorry, the official snowfall numbers are confusing me again this morning. (10cm up top but 28cm down down base since yesterday afternoon?). So I'm leaving them out.
