Posted on Friday 28th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
It's not a very exciting one today and not the best way to end February... it's raining, even up at GALA Yuzawa and Kagura by all accounts.
We are hoping that it will ease off this morning and leave us with just a cloudy day. The good thing is that it won't be quite as warm as it was the last few days, but there's still be a high of about +5 today in town. We might see some rain tomorrow as well, though hopefully it might be cold enough at higher elevations for it to be snowing.
OK so I want to talk about snow! Nothing major on the weekly forecast and no major freeze either, though it seems there is a chance of snow showers now and again. All very borderline and weak though.
Sorry I can't bring more exciting news. If you are coming to the area this weekend, expect spring snow conditions and they are important to you head as high as possible.
