Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 9cm Snowfall at base this season 160cm Posted on Wednesday 20th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa where the storm has hit - wind in particular, meaning that the upper areas of the mountain are this morning closed as I write this report. Hopefully they will be able to open if conditions improve but for the moment the open lifts are as noted below and the forecast is for windy conditions for the day. The resort is reporting 20cm of snowfall on the upper areas this morning and 15cm on the Nagasaka area. A strong northerly wind is blowing snow around making for bad visibility and also lots of drifting which in turn makes it difficult to tell just how much snow has fallen. There's a heavy snow warning out currently and we expect more today and perhaps quite a lot too. Bring it on, I say. Forecast is looking pretty good for the coming week too.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 5cm Snowfall at base this season 235cm Posted on Sunday 31st January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and the forecasts did tell us to expect some snowfall overnight - and we got some, a modest 5cm or so. This morning there's some breaks in the cloud for us here in the village but I can see that visibility is very limited up on the Yamabiko and Uenotaira areas... it might even be snowing up there still - it was down here until just before. It will likely clear up fairly quickly though and we're forecast a generally cloudy day with the chance of more snow overnight (probably light snow again). Not much else to report really at the moment as we fast approach February. In the coming days I'll take a look back at the season so far and compare snowfall with previous seasons. Have a good Sunday.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 2cm Snowfall at base this season 237cm Posted on Monday 1st February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and the first day of February. Light snow is falling this morning and just a couple of cm down at base with 5cm being reported by the resort on the top Yamabiko runs. The webcams show limited visibility on the upper parts of the mountain early on. Snow showers on the forecast for most days over the coming week with the most potential for a decent amount of snow falling looking like it will be on Friday - before that it will probably just be light snow without that much in terms of new cm. Still, it is keeping cold and should be so through the week. Here's to a February that will bring lots of Nozawa-like snowfall.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 1cm Snowfall at base this season 239cm Posted on Friday 5th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and the snowfall I have to report this morning is similar to yesterday ranging from a dusting on lower slopes to 5cm on upper slopes. I so miss being able to often report 30cm of fresh dumpage in the village, and I still optimistically hope we'll get to some of that this season - though some locals are more of the 'this is how the season will be' kind of thinking now. So I'm getting excited about what is on the forecast. After some light snow today/tonight perhaps, it's heavy snow forecast tomorrow night (well on some forecasts anyway). Monday is scheduled currently to be clearer and sunny and that to be followed by a return to snowy conditions and the chance of another decent dump. Fingers crossed everyone. Just now there's a lot of fog up top (possibly light snow? - the resort was reporting light snow up there as of 7:30am), making visibility limited in some places. Better in others and maybe it'll clear up this morning. It's going to be a busy weekend. Let's hope there's lots of fresh snow to play in come Sunday morning.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 1cm Snowfall at base this season 238cm Posted on Thursday 4th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . There's a fog down here this morning. But I can see that up higher on the mountain it's clearer and I can see a mix of cloud and blue sky at the moment. The early morning fog lower down will probably quickly disappear leaving us with a fine morning. Yesterday at 3pm the resort was reporting 1-5cm of snowfall during the day bottom-top and this morning just another small dusting higher up. That's where the numbers below are coming from just in case you were wondering. I'm liking the look of the forecast for Saturday. 'Heavy snow'. We'll have some (lots) of that please. We have of course seen that before but it hasn't quite happened in as dramatic a way as we would like so let's be cautiously optimistic! It should actually be snowing from tomorrow through into Sunday. Here's to a snowy late week and weekend. For today though, enjoy some sunshine.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 4cm Snowfall at base this season 243cm Posted on Sunday 7th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Good morning from Nozawa. It's snowing... in a this-season-special kind of way (ie. not huge dump) but the resort reports up to 10cm of snow on the upper slopes this morning and it is continuing to snow as the lifts start moving. Not expected to last that long today though with the day ending up with the sun shining down on us a possibility. From the official info it looks like Challenge 39 has opened up - going to give that a go today. Clear skies and sun are forecast for tomorrow after a cold night tonight. For those of us looking for dumps of snowfall though Tuesday night seems to be what we should be looking forward to. Let's hope it happens.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 40cm Snowfall at base this season 380cm Posted on Thursday 18th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Some very respectable snow numbers since the report yesterday morning with some really heavy snow falling for quite a lot of the day. Proper Nozawa style! The resort made a few updates during the day all adding up to around 50cm of fresh snow in places and not that much less than that down at base either. It was a good day and this morning should be excellent - helped along by some very fine clear skies and sunshine. Going to warm up a little this afternoon, hopefully not too much. Tomorrow is also going to probably be sunny and a bit warmer than today too, with a high of around 6-7 degrees expected at base. Then we come to Saturday which promises snow later in the day and the chance of some rain (please..no) earlier on before the snow - though it'll probably start off as snow on upper parts of the mountain. The roller-coaster like and odd weather of the season continues! (Let's have some more days like yesterday!)

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and yesterday we were treated to a Nozawa-like snowfall, I'm very happy to report. The resort reporting up 20-30cm of fresh since 3pm yesterday and up to 11cm since the morning report yesterday - so I made that as meaning there must be up to 40cm of snow up there to enjoy this morning. I have measured myself here near base a 32cm of fresh snowfall. It's the kind of number that we are used to getting! So after that rubbish weekend, we find ourselves enjoying a good new layer or snow - and some sunshine and cold conditions to enjoy it in as well this morning. Nice. More snowfall is forecast for later today and tomorrow; some forecasts tell us to expect a fair amount too. Fingers crossed.

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Nozawa Onsen region of Nagano New snowfall at base 24cm Snowfall at base this season 305cm Posted on Thursday 11th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . It has been a good few days for us with lots of fresh snow at last to play in. The resort has reported 24-30cm of fresh snowfall since yesterday morning with about half of that coming since yesterday afternoon. This morning there is still a lot of cloud around, but the sun breaking through clouds and there's blue sky in places as well. The remaining clouds will probably disappear leaving us with a fine day - perfect to get out and enjoy the fresh snow. It's National Foundation Day in Japan (a national holiday) and so the resort treats it like a weekend with all but one lift operating this morning. Tomorrow we are back to a normal weekday. So how's that forecast looking for the weekend? Still looking like it's going to rain and be too warm for our liking, unfortunately. We can only hope for better than the forecasts. The good thing is that once we get over this warmer spell we should be back to snowfall once again by late Sunday and Monday.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Now this is more like what we expect here in Nozawa! The resort has reported 40+cm on upper slopes and a good chunk of that down at base as well, and the snow continues to fall now as I write this report. Yes! Yamabiko also - at last - hitting the 2m mark for the official snow depth which is great to see (even though it should have been there come new year!) So conditions this morning should be top rate even if visibility is limited out there. Things may clear to some degree later on with lighter snow forecast. Tomorrow the forecast is for sunshine so an early start should make for an excellent day. Highly recommended if possible to get here for tomorrow rather than the weekend because unfortunately rain and warm temperatures are still probably going to be what's happening on Saturday.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Yesterday we had mixed weather conditions here in Nozawa. As can often happen here - snow falling higher up on the top Yamabiko runs with sunshine and part blue skies on lower slopes. The resort reported 2-6cm of fresh snow at 3pm yesterday afternoon (since the morning report), but there's no further cm of snow this morning. This morning the clouds are gone and it's clear and sunny from early on - it's going to be a fine day, just as we were expecting. Very cold early morning too though the sun should be warming things up this afternoon. We're still expecting to be back to snowfall tomorrow as well, so if all goes well we'll need googles and extra layers tomorrow. The heaviest snow is expected tomorrow night though it should hopefully be continuing into Wednesday as well.

The latest Nozawa Now report can be found here . Morning from Nozawa and it's back to snow again today. Fine weather yesterday and some good conditions to enjoy as well. It got fairly mild, though not like what we had last week thankfully, and there was definitely some snow melt going on but now that we are back to snow again today we should be getting some good cm in today. As much as possible, as tomorrow we're going to be back to clear skies and sunshine again. The weather seems somehow just really confused this season. And not making it any easier for us either! Anyway, snow falling now and falling quite heavily as well. Fingers crossed it continues.
