Posted on Tuesday 14th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
We has another mixed bunch of weather conditions going on yesterday, depending on where you were. It ranged from light snow, moderate snow, and some clearings in the clouds with a bit of sun too. Temps on the mild side of things again, getting up to around +3C in town early afternoon.
5cm of snowfall has been recorded at our measuring point since the report yesterday morning.
And it looks like we might have another day of mild but varied weather conditions, though it should be mostly either cloudy or fine. Forecasts disagree on how much sun to expect. As of 7:15am, there's less cloud and more blue sky on view than there was just 30 minutes ago.
It feels like we might get another beautiful morning.
Colder conditions and good snowfall is still lined up on forecasts for tomorrow, particularly later in the day.
