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.
