Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano

Snowfall at base this season 438cm

Posted on Monday 13th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Greetings from Hakuba on this last day of the long weekend.


We have some fresh snow on the ground this morning. I have just measured 4cm.


It is still snowing at higher elevations; less so around base, where the sun is trying to appear from behind the clouds.


We aren't expect the snow to last during the day. The sun might win the day.


The prospect of 'heavy snow' on Wednesday sounds good.
