It's not crazy cold, but snow is falling and there is a few cm on the ground in base areas and hopefully there will be much more to come over the next few days.

That first layer of snow down to the village is always a lovely sight.

Some very light snow lazily falling down to near base areas at times yesterday and this morning snow can seen down close to lower areas, not quite down to the village.

Good morning from Hakuba and welcome back.

Today is the last day of the 2018/2019 season for the four ski resorts that remain part open this morning.

Wind affected top lifts at Happo-one yesterday and unfortunately it looks like the same is happening this morning.

Lots of cloud around this morning and some rain. Fingers crossed the rain might clear later on but it might be back tomorrow - as might snow.

After a sunny and very spring like warm day yesterday, it seems we got some rain overnight/very early morning but it is now just mostly cloudy.

Yes, more snow this morning. It's the third morning in a row.

This morning... yes, we have more snow with snow from early morning I am measuring 3cm.

And this morning I have some fresh snow news for you.

Good morning from Hakuba. We have more snow - this is what the ski resorts are reporting this morning...

Morning from Hakuba and yes, I have more fresh snow to report again.

It feels more like the middle of winter than April for the moment. Not complaining.
