Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 444cm
Posted on Thursday 7th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
It's mostly just cloudy but there is some very light snow falling (in places) as I write this with just (up to) a few cm being reported by ski areas. Currently around -2C at base.
There seems to be a chance of some clearer and brighter weather today, and maybe tomorrow too.
That will be followed by the fresh snow that we are still told to expect by tomorrow night through Saturday. Still potentially a fair amount too.
(Please don't disappoint us, Nature. Love you!!)
