Posted on Wednesday 11th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Those blue skies that started yesterday morning didn't last for long, with snow falling for much of the day - some clearings of clouds at times, but usually short-lived. Not much cm from it though, and about 5cm of fresh snow outside from overnight.
The sun is out again this morning as I write this, with a mix of blue skies to the north and some thin cloud in places. Nice and bright. Difficult to read what will happen during the day today with a few different forecasts. Take your pick from sunny or cloudy with some snow showers at times!
One thing that does seem certain is that today will be warmer with a high of around +5C forecast this afternoon. It wasn't that cold last night and now it's hovering around 0C.
It's also National Foundation Day in Japan which is a national holiday so it'll be interesting to see how many folk come visiting for this mid week day off. Expect places to be busier than on a normal weekend.
Heavy snowfall once again expected on Friday and Saturday.
