It did cloud over yesterday and in the afternoon snow started falling. And the good news this morning is that there is 10cm or so of new snowfall down at town level - and there will be more on the slopes no doubt. Got to make it an early report today and so the numbers below haven't been updated, but the forecast is for snow today and a high of just around +1. Right now at around 6:30am it is -2 and a moderate wind blowing which may well affect some lifts at resorts. Best to check the Naeba Now report a bit later on and the resorts themselves if you plan on coming.

With the new snowfall again, should be pretty decent out there today.

Tomorrow looks like it will be sunny and then Friday looks like we might see rain, but that will soon be followed by snow into Saturday and over the weekend.
