Posted on Friday 8th March 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Naeba and it feels like winter again.
Some snow yesterday but more overnight with the resort reporting 10-15cm and I expect more actually higher up. Kagura have reported more than 40cm since yesterday. Unfortunately the link with Kagura is not open at the start of the day with Dragondola on hold due to wind conditions.
This snowfall is not expected to continue for long, perhaps clearing up during the day today, and then tomorrow it is very likely that the sun will be out and clear skies from the beginning of the day. Much warmer than this morning too. Which kind of makes the last 24 hours or so the blip in the spring like conditions that we have had of late. So we should really make the most of it...

- 190cm
