No snow, then a heavy fall; looked like it was going to be sunny today then the clouds started to move in from the north.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Greetings from Nozawa. Just slightly over 10cm of fresh to report this morning. I was expecting more, perhaps in part egged on by all the 'crazy snowfall' reports that were on the Japanese national news last night. It does seem like some regions have been well and truly dumped on. Just not so much here. It's snowing still and a cold morning. Limited visibility on the top area. Long weekend ahead, with Monday being a national holiday. The ski area will probably be very busy. Night skiing tomorrow (as usual) and also on Sunday night. Weather for the weekend? Well, should be generally calm with a mix of cloud, light snow and clearer sunny periods. Timing of those things... unknown! Some more snow today/overnight should make for a very fine start to the weekend. Fresh snowfall since yesterday afternoon (as reported by the ski area): Yamabiko: 5cm Uenotaira: 5cm Hikage: ?

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata New snowfall at base 21cm Snowfall at base this season 655cm Posted on Friday 10th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . The weather is weird right now; the national news is all about the massive snows all, over the place; meanwhile, we haven’t seen a huge fall, but lots of on and off snowing, a touch of wind, the sun is peeking out right now.... In fact, I was woken up at 5:30 by the city’s big rotary snowthrower; went to take a look and there was very little new snow. They never plowed yesterday, so I guess they were catching up (we suspect they don’t go until there’s 30cm or so on the ground, so maybe they were looking at the total?). Looked outside, and there wasn’t really enough to justify popping up and getting to work (back to bed!). Then it was coming down hard at 7, slowed down again, the wind shifted from east to now....west? north? No predictions on how much will fall by tomorrow. But it is colder, the snow is pretty nice and light and it's not crazy deep, at least at base level. There could be a lot more (and more wind) higher up.
