Good morning from Nozawa.

The sun is out. There's clear blue skies above. It's bright. The mountains look beautiful.

It's that kind of day.

Tomorrow might see something else going on (light rain/snow for a bit on the mountain morning, and more cloud?) and then back to clear for Thursday.

I know you want to hear about temperatures getting lower, but that's not the case. If anything, it'll be getting warmer towards the weekend. Expect a high of around +5C or +6C in the village today.
