Posted at 1:17pm on Thursday 17th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
More snow this morning though not a huge amount. Perhaps 5-10cm or so in places with resorts around town reporting anything from 10cm to up to 30cm once again at Kagura. It is still snowing lightly this morning but not the kind of snow that is building up the cm - the roads are clear and visibility is decent.
At lunchtime now it is -2C in Yuzawa town area. Snow is forecast to continue snowing today and all tomorrow as well, when it should be colder too. A good chance of heavier snowfall than today as well, which would be good.
From Saturday onwards a number of days of milder conditions and clearer skies is forecast for the region.
