Posted on Friday 28th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Yesterday can't have been a particularly good day out there. First of all there was the rain and to add to that the poor visibility as that fog stuck around for what seemed like most of the day. Even down in town you couldn't see far, so I suspect it was worse higher up.
I can see the mountains this morning and the sun is out. Kind of hazy rather than deep blue skies, but bright and sunny. Very warm conditions expected today and tomorrow with lots more sun; rain is forecast for Sunday.
Might we be treated to some fresh snow up at higher elevations on Sunday? Some forecasts say we might just. I'll update you on that with the latest tomorrow.
