Good morning from Hakuba. Ah, the weekend.
You know what. I was over at the Happo-one gondola yesterday around lunchtime. And it was snowing. Yey! There was even a thin layer on those lower areas for a short while, and I saw enough to feel justified in adding 1cm to the report to represent that snow; even though it was raining just a little further down in the village.
I see Tsugaike Kogen are reporting 10cm of snow too. The only other number I can find coming from Happo-one (3cm at Usagidaira).
Things had cleared up by the end of the day and we even got some sunshine.
This morning it's cloudy/overcast but bright. There's a hint of light blue behind the clouds in places. If forecasts are correct it will be a sunny day so maybe these clouds will move on. It's going to be warm (think, mid teen temps). Tomorrow should be less warm but with a chance of rain and maybe also wind.
