Morning from Hakuba.
Fine in the morning with clouds in the afternoon is how things ended up yesterday. Hakuba 47 were reporting 'mizore' (sleet), I experienced something a bit wetter than that.
But this morning it is noticeably colder and there is some fresh snow to report. Here is what the ski resorts are reporting:
Hakuba Cortina: 0-cm (base); 10-cm (top)
Hakuba Happo-one: 5cm (top of Riesen)
Hakuba 47: 5cm
Hakuba Goryu: 2cm (Toomi); 10cm (top)
Lots of cloud still and snow falling in places, though there's actually some small bits of blue sky showing through in places - so it's a case of varying current conditions depending on where you are in the valley.
Some forecasts look good for tomorrow night, others seem less excited about the chance of snow. As we can't do much about it, let's just enjoy what we have and see what happens (as they say).
Long weekend ahead, as Monday is 'National Foundation Day' and a national holiday. It's usually one of the most popular and busy weekends of the winter season.
