Posted on Thursday 14th March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Yesterday ended up very overcast, windy and 'r' later in the day. But on that note I will move swiftly on to tell you that it turned into snow overnight and this morning. A few cm at Naeba and up to 5cm at Kagura. Feels much colder too. Yey.
Strong winds persist though.
Kagura is limited to just the Mitsumata Ropeway to Kagura No1 pair lift, and Tashiro Ropeway to Tashiro No2 pair lift early on. If the wind eases off, more might open up.
We seem to be ok here in Naeba for the moment but subject to change of course.
This snow will ease off today and then we will very probably be back to warmer conditions and clearer skies from tomorrow through the weekend.
