Posted on Friday 13th March 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Hello, and it's another excellent mid-season morning here in Hakuba. Oh hold on, it's mid-March!
It's still snowing.
By tomorrow morning though it should have eased off and starting Sunday it is going to start getting warmer again and likely feel all spring-like once again. Some warm conditions expected next week - double digit territory.
For now though, conditions are excellent and should be for the next few. Not going out to make the most of it if you can would be a crime!
March... what a funny old month it can be!
