Posted on Wednesday 21st February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
After a clear afternoon and evening yesterday, the snow is back! We have had 5cm already, and the clouds are still rolling in. We can expect light snow to continue throughout today, with modeset accumulations of a few cm. The wind will be light to moderate today. The air temperature will remain just below 0°C at the base, which will feel cool without the sun. The pistes will be a little slower today than yesterday, due to the fresh snow.
Looking forwards, we can expect a clearer day tomorrow with mild air temperatures. There will be some snow later in the afternoon and into the evening. Temperatures will stay mild until at least Saturday, when conditions are expected to become cooler after a potentially small snow deposition on Saturday night. The wind will remain moderate to light throughout the week, with the exception of Saturday night, with stronger winds accompanying the snow.
