Good morning from Nozawa.

There are some moody looking dark clouds around this morning with a little very light snow early morning.

Trees up top are looking frosted and the resort is reporting 1cm on just the top Yamabiko area. Perhaps it will just be cloudy for the day, maybe with a chance of some sunshine later but it will remain quite cold and there is also a chance of some more snow overnight into tomorrow.

Early week should see somewhat warmer temps again. And then possibly some more snow later next week. It's all up and down at the moment!
