Posted on Tuesday 30th January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
A generally fine day yesterday with lots of cloud around but a few spells of sunshine and blue sky too added into the mix.
And this morning... it's colder and snowing once again! There's some nice big flakes coming down at the moment, and I am measuring nearly 25cm of fresh on the ground.
Kagura (all areas) are reporting 20cm of fresh snowfall.
Maiko Snow Resort are reporting 30cm.
Yuzawa Kogen are reporting 30cm. (It's nice to see them reporting fresh snowfall number this morning - though the snow depth numbers haven't moved!)
Snow is forecast to be falling through the day, easing off by later this afternoon.
I reckon tomorrow should be good. The forecasts are either cloudy or sun - might it be clear and sunny? I think there's a decent chance that it may be.
Local forecasts have more light snow lined up beyond that until the weekend, but I wouldn't expect it to be major snow like we have had over the last week. More like the chance of light snow at times.
