Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 510cm
Posted on Sunday 1st March 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It was a fine day yesterday with just some thin cloud around and the sun out warming things up during the day.
There were some nice fun conditions to be found especially in the morning and more fresh than seemed to have been reported as well which was a nice surprise. The sun did warm things up by the afternoon though making for another spring-like feel to the day.
There has been another small amount of snow overnight and light snow is falling this morning. Temperature hovering around zero but hoping it'll stay around there and the snow will keep falling into tomorrow as the forecast tells us it might.
