Posted at 9:55am on Wednesday 16th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Snowfall did continue through until this morning though perhaps just 10-15cm since the report yesterday morning. The snow has eased off now and the clouds seem to be breaking up with more and more blue sky appearing and the sun casting shadows down on the valley in places. Feels like it might clear up nicely today. It's about -2 degrees at the moment with a high of around +1 forecast for later and hardly any wind to report. All resorts up and running.
While today may end up with the sun doing it's thing, snow clouds are forecast to be back with us from tomorrow.
Snow depth numbers below looking better the last few days and a bit more like normal. We still certainly have less snow than normal for the time of the season but there's still plenty out there.
Conditions should be good out there this morning.
