Posted on Thursday 12th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
There's some snow to see this morning!
Kagura are reporting 5cm and so are Maiko Snow Resort. Lower down here in town areas there has been 1-2cm, with just a dusting on the top of my car.
Lots of cloud around this morning but some sunshine breaking through and it feels like it might well clear up and be a fine day. There's more sun on the forecast for tomorrow too and that snow over the weekend is still there on the forecasts.

The Yuzawa Park resort is closed from today - yesterday ended up being their last day of the season.
The small Nakazato Snow Wood area (not to be confused with the larger Yuzawa Nakazato right next to it) is saying that it will plans to be open until Sunday (15th March).
