Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 9cm
Snowfall at base this season 363cm
Posted on Monday 12th February 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
The clouds cleared up to some extent during the day yesterday giving us some periods of blue sky and some sunshine too. Cool looking cloud, actually.
And we got some fresh overnight too. This morning the reported snowfall numbers are varying, ranging from 5-15cm. All added to the list below, of course. I thought the numbers might be larger, actually, but there should be a new layer to play with this morning.
And it should be a fine day too. Nice and sunny around base just now. There is a lot of cloud up there still, but I think we are expecting clearer skies.
And a clear day tomorrow too. We're going to have to watch out for some warmth tomorrow and Wednesday with a dip in temps due around Friday. Definitely 'interesting', but hopefully we'll get a return to winter and this coming warmth will just be a blip.
It's Monday but a national holiday; that means it will probably still be very busy though that should ease off after lunchtime.
