Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 420cm
Posted on Saturday 8th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here.
I was hoping to bring news of decent numbers this morning, but it's just 5cm or so on most of the mountain with the Karasawa are reporting a lonely 0cm. That is at 7:30am for the top slopes and 8am for the lower slopes. But, we need to give it a chance as it only started early morning - it is snowing and it's from now that it will build up so there will already be more out there than those numbers imply.
The snow is coming down, visibility is limited and everything looks the same colour up top in particular, it's cold. Yes, a good winters day in Nozawa.
Hopefully conditions will be good out there and continue to be with snowfall forecast for the day and hopefully tomorrow too.
