New Snow since close: 10 cm

Weather; Snow

 

Finally we have some beautiful thick flakes falling in the village of Nozawa Onsen. A welcome change from the liquid pow we were doused with yesterday. 10cm was recorded at the summit so not a whole lot, but enough to get some good powder turns in. With snow forecast to fall all day its likely that conditions will continue to improve.

Looking at the forecast we can see a solid lineup of snowfalls. Snow should ease later this afternoon with a clear day tomorrow. Following that snowfalls should recommence and continue for some time. Moderate falls are expected beginning Friday until Wednesday of next week. Conditions will be all time for most of next week.
