Posted on Wednesday 22nd February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
The clouds remained yesterday with a little new snow up there, at least where I was (Happo-one).
Cortina are this morning reporting 5cm of snow.
This morning it is not snowing with no fresh snow overnight. It is cold early on with cloud around but also (what seems like an increasing amount of) blue sky. Feels like it is going to be a fine day.
The next snow due around Friday night into Saturday.
Tomorrow is a national holiday in Japan. It will probably be noticeably busier than a regular Thursday.
