Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 359cm

Posted on Friday 7th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.


Another cold morning in Hakuba, currently around -6 degrees in the village and we should keep below zero through the day. Snowfall during the day yesterday, though not much in terms of cm, with a bit more overnight. Hakuba 47 reporting 6cm since yesterday morning, Hakuba Cortina @ 10cm of fresh.


This morning we have quite a lot of blue sky over the village with the peaks of the mountains hidden behind a bank of cloud. Good visibility on the slopes. A good day to be sliding down the mountainsides.


Snow should be falling by the end of the day here and overnight and the forecast is telling us to expect snow clouds over the region through until Monday so we should be getting some decent refreshes for the weekend.
