Hakuba Now: Monday 14th February 2022

Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 6cm
Snowfall at base this season 469cm

Posted on Monday 14th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Yesterday remained a cloudy day and this morning... it's cloudy. Some ski areas are reporting up to 10cm on upper areas overnight and there has been some down in base areas. It is one of those days when there is more to the south than the north. (More often than not it's the other way round).


It does not feel as cold this morning and forecasts say we'll be warming up to around +3C in the village this afternoon. Hopefully we will be getting some more snow and larger numbers across the coming few days.


Forecasts show today clearing up and sun shining down on us. Can't see any of that just yet. I'll let you know how that pans out tomorrow.
