Posted on Sunday 9th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.
Light snow falling at the moment as the mountain is engulfed in cloud (fog?) and there's really not much to see at all.
10cm or so reported by the resort since yesterday and I'd say around that, perhaps more, on the cars at base. Snow/cloud forecast for today and tomorrow, with a chance of conditions clearing, then clearer weather is likely from Tuesday. Fingers crossed it will remain cold this time when it doesn't snow.
For now though, very nice conditions to enjoy. As you might have seen on the news, many parts of Japan that don't usually get snowfall were affected by heavy snow yesterday which has disrupted traffic (as well as cause lots of accidents and issues). This may mean that today is less busy here than it would normally be.
