It is a beautiful spring day here in Nozawa Onsen, with clear skies, sunshine and soft conditions on the slopes. Not so good for the snow pack but great for enjoying the mountains. A front is forecast to come through tonight bringing some precipitation but with temperatures up above 10 degrees it is going to fall as rain. It is predicted to get colder on Saturday with light rain still falling lower down and snow higher up before warm weather and rain on Monday.
