The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . This morning Nozawa Onsen is saying that there's a whopping 45cm of snowfall up on the top areas! (Checks calendar, yes it's almost mid-March). What's more, it's not just a 'snowfall at the top of the mountain' kind of pattern that we increasingly get towards the end of a season. We have had a good new layer down to base and in the village too. JMA reporting 17cm (up to 9am), the ski area reporting 20-30cm, and my measurement is 23cm.
