New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this seas 655cm
Posted on Sunday 2nd February 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
The snow did indeed linger for quite a while yesterday, perhaps maybe longer than expected, though it didn't really amount to much in terms of new cm... in town, anyway.
Popular ski areas around town seemed very busy yesterday; probably one of the busiest days of the season so far.
This Sunday morning starts overcast with quite limited visibility in places. At best, it is one of those mornings when there isn't much contrast.
It will probably be a mainly cloudy day with the chance of some light snow at times. Just under 0C at 8:00am.
We are still expecting quite a lot of snow this coming week. It might start with some rain/sleet tomorrow down in lower areas, but should be snowing everywhere come Tuesday. The snow clouds look set to be with us through next weekend.
It's going to be very interesting to see how it all turns out... modest amounts or massive amounts?
