Posted on Monday 29th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
We had some light snow at times during the day and evening again yesterday... though it was borderline rain in lower areas at times, particularly to the north. (Nothing major, thankfully). There looks like there might have been some more snow at higher elevations (and Kagura are reporting 5cm).
This morning we are starting with cloudy skies, and that's what most forecasts tell us to expect today. Neighbouring areas are seeing some clearer skies and so there is a chance we might get some of that too. Actually there is already some blue sky appearing in places, as you can see on the NASPA webcam image below.
Currently it is hovering around 0C in town.
Tomorrow is forecast to be clear and sunny. Temps are going to be rising a little through Wednesday, when it might warm up to around 7C in town. :(
Colder weather again from Thursday when we might get some fresh snow.
Ski areas look set to be opening as planned this morning.
