Posted on Saturday 23rd March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Heyyup, what's this? It's snowing again! (Were we expecting that?).


No cm of snow being reported by ski areas early this morning but there's almost 2cm on the top of my car. I wonder how long this will go on?


Forecasts seem to show that it might turn to rain, at least in the village and lower areas. Hopefully it might continue as snow higher up.


There is a southerly wind this morning but ski areas seem to be opening as scheduled.


Expect cloud and milder conditions tomorrow.
