Posted on Monday 3rd January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It didn't take too long for the skies to start clouding over yesterday after that beautiful start and it was a much greyer feel by the afternoon. Those clouds did start to deliver some fresh snow though and this morning there's generally 15-20cm or so being reported by the ski areas on the mountain. There's a decent layer on the ground around base areas too. So a decent refresh and snow due tonight through tomorrow too. Sounds good.
Snow was really great yesterday morning. :)
Curious weather this morning. It's not as cold as yesterday. There's a lot of cloud about, some rather dark grey too, but brighter in some areas too. Even a bit of sun.
