Good morning from Hakuba.
Yesterday we worried about wind again.
But hey, how about this?! There's still some wind but it feels colder again and feels like a winter morning.
Hakuba Goryu this morning win the 'most reported snowfall' - they are claiming 40cm of fresh snow on their upper slopes. I do like the sound of that. Other numbers coming in aren't as big but generally agree on there being 20-30cm on the mountainsides. Nice. And I have measured 17cm on the ground too. It is still snowing and more is due through the day today.
If we get some sun tomorrow morning like forecasts show, tomorrow should be a very good time to be here. Well, today is too, of course, if you like being out there in the snow!
Beyond today no snow on the weekly forecast and it is probably going to start getting a bit warmer too.
