Posted on Wednesday 8th April 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Hakuba and here we are on April 8th and I have some snowfall to report.
Back to yesterday first and it was light rain on and off during the day but quite a cold day... with snow later on!
This morning Happo-one report 5cm of fresh snow and Hakuba 47 are reporting 3-5cm as well. Just a bit down at base areas. It kind of feels a bit like early season this morning. A bit more please.
Not deep of course bit it'll be fun to try out a bit of fresh for a change.
Things are due to start warming up again from tomorrow to remind us that it's getting on for mid-April. Hopefully we'll be able to avoid rain over the weekend.
