Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 231cm
Posted on Friday 17th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Clouds started to move in yesterday afternoon and snow was falling on the mountains as darkness arrived. Overnight we have nothing more than a dusting at base and up to 5cm on upper slopes.
This morning snow is falling and visibility is very poor on all but the lower base slopes of the resorts. Can't see much of anything out there. The forecast tells us it should get better this afternoon though and we'll probably have a clear night.
Start of another weekend tomorrow of course and it looks like it should start off cloudy/sun. We're looking at snow overnight into Sunday though so if that forecast is right the pick of the weekend for fresh would be Sunday. Doesn't always work like that of course...!
However it turns out, have a great weekend!
