Independent snow and weather reporting from the Hakuba region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 283cm
Posted on Sunday 9th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Hakuba Now report can be found here.
Snow and more snow yesterday as it fell pretty much throughout the day, leaving us with about 25cm during the day on the mountain, according to Hakuba 47. Add another 10cm that they are reporting this morning to get an idea of what to expect this morning. Hakuba Cortina in their morning update today are giving us up to 30cm on their slopes. Happo-one reporting 25cm on top of what we reported yesterday.
This morning it's not that cold, around -2C at the moment, and the snow has eased off for the moment. It's a bunch of different conditions at the moment actually with sun shining through the clouds in places, thick clouds in others and what looks like thick fog in some places. It could go either way, perhaps it'll clear up some and we'll end up with a sunny day - purely a guess, by the way.
So anyway, we have enjoyed a decent snow refresh so what's ahead in the coming week. The chance of snow showers at times over the next few days but Tuesday onwards the forecasts point to clearer skies. This time, keep cold please!
Should be a good day for everyone venturing out today. My guess is that due to the heavy snow in lots of places that don't usually expect snow yesterday, there may be less people out and about today.
One more bit of information, Tuesday is a national holiday in Japan.
