Nozawa Snow Report 10 February 2016: Overview
The winds have been strong, blowing snow in all directions, though on the ground we’ve got a good 40cm of fresh so today is definitely a powder day! Clouds and fog are still prevalent so visibility is going to be fairly poor today. We wouldn’t advise venturing into unknown territory. Prevailing North Westerly winds will be easing off late in the evening, taking the clouds with them to leave us with a clear, cold night and a beautiful bluebird day tomorrow.
We’re happy to see that the expected rain that was forecast for the weekend has been downgraded. Hopefully it continues in this direction. Unfortunately, temperatures are still expected to rise into the mid single digits, though this won’t be for long with colder temperatures and lots of snow to come at the start of the new week.
