Posted on Friday 1st April 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Hakuba.
Yesterday wasn't great for weather. I'll quickly move on from that wetness and foggy conditions and report dryer conditions this morning... and even some snow overnight!
Hakuba 47 are this morning reporting 2-3cm of fresh snow. Goryu is reporting 2cm. Happo-one is reporting 3cm at Usagidaira. Cortina is reporting 1cm. And while the road in front of my place doesn't have any snow on it now, I'm adding 1cm to the report as there was just ever so slightly less than that on the top of my car this morning.
It's cloudy now and we might enjoy some sun later on. And tomorrow too.
