Posted at 9:25am on Wednesday 27th March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
The snow did ease off fairly quickly yesterday leaving us with a cloudy afternoon and clear evening - here in Minamiuonuma to the north of Yuzawa anyway.
This morning is quite bright but cloudy and overcast. Some blue sky here and there. Right now about 5 degrees in Yuzawa town and a high of just over 10 forecast.
Tomorrow should be a bit warmer and it seems we may get rained on before my report tomorrow morning.
