Posted on Thursday 15th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


I have to be early this morning.


14cm of snow since the report yesterday and not much more than a dusting since yesterday evening.


Today we start the morning with a mostly cloud, but we might get some sunshine in the morning. It is going to be a rather mild day, perhaps getting close to 10C in town. It's about -2C just before 7am.


Tomorrow might be a borderline rain/snow kind of situation as it remains relatively mild.
