Posted on Monday 4th February 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Clearer skies yesterday evening after all that cloud during the day.
Overnight a bit of new snow. Just a few cm in the village. Goryu reporting 2cm, Hakuba 47 reporting 5cm at base and 10cm higher up. Hakuba Cortina reporting 5cm at base and 10cm up top.
It's snowing at the moment but it's not a particularly cold morning though. Earlier on I saw -2C on the thermometer and currently close to 0 degrees and just a slight SW wind.
If the forecast is correct though it will warm up a bit during the day today and perhaps rise to around +6 degrees - bringing with it the chance of that horrid rain stuff later on.
We should be back to more pleasing colder conditions tomorrow.
