Posted on Monday 28th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Hakuba, and welcome to a new week. If you count Monday as the start of the week, of course. And a fine morning it seems it will be. Lots of white cloud around the mountains, but lots of blue sky up there as well and the sun shining down casting lots of shadows all around. Very dramatic.
No new snow to report here at village level, and resorts not reporting anything other than a sprinkling up at Cortina.
Temperatures dropped down to -10 degrees overnight and as of 9am it was still around -5 degrees. Hakuba 47 are reporting a temperature of -12C up top this morning, so it's a cold start to the day. Just a slight northerly wind.
After all that snow we got a few days back, it seems that this week we are going to be enjoying clearer skies with just the chance of an occasional snow shower from time to time. Temperatures set to rise as the week goes on with Friday looking almost warm there on the forecast and bringing a chance of rain into Saturday. Not the best news for the coming weekend but we can just hope that changes by the time we get there.
