Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 390cm

Posted on Friday 21st March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Good morning and good news I have. Yes, we do have that snow that we were promised.


I haven't been up myself yet of course but resorts are reporting 15-20cm of fresh on upper resort areas this morning. 5-10cm on lower areas, but it is still snowing now and hopefully should be for the rest of the day today and tonight. Good to see snow on the roads again. Let's see how much we can get piling up!


Tomorrow onwards it's looking like the coming week will be mostly clearer and lots of sun and really warming up mid week, so this could well be our last taste of 'winter' for the season. So we want as much snow squeezed out of those clouds as possible.


Anyway I'm off to play in this fresh snow. Until tomorrow!
