Posted on Sunday 24th November 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
There's not a whole lot to report this morning - the third day of the season for Happo! A lovely day yesterday with fine blue skies for most of the day. It is a more cloudy start to the day today, but still bright and a few patches of blue sky showing through. Temps dipped into minus numbers overnight but today we are looking at a high of around 10 degrees in the village. So it's rather mild just now.
Tomorrow - even warmer, with rain. The remaining bits of snow in the village may well get washed away with that.
Not to fear. The prospects for some significant snowfall are looking rather good from Wednesday onwards. From Tuesday look for temps dipping and then a start to another cold blast and deposit of snow from later on in the day on Wednesday. Hopefully sooner, though possibly heavy rain up front before the snow is probably.
