Posted on Monday 30th November 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
As forecast it looks like today is going to be a fine and sunny one - first half of it anyway. There's lots of early morning low cloud around the region this morning but blue skies above it and probably very quickly we will all be able to enjoy that. It's going to be a mild day with temperatures rising above 10 degrees later on.
Yesterday of course the lower part of the main run at Kagura opened for the first time this season. Not a huge amount of snow up there, certainly by Kagura standards, but enough to keep going hopefully until the next snowfall and an increase in base. There are some snow making machines up there as well helping out. That next snow is looking likely to be with us by the end of the week.
Down here at town level we're going to get something falling this week. There's a good chance of rain but borderline chance of snow to fall as well around Friday. All eyes on those temperatures.
Tomorrow we enter December. If you didn't experience December here last year, do take a look at the archive reports and see how we were treated to 5.5m of snowfall here at town level in that one month. Last December the snowfall was at times a bit crazy, even for us. It will certainly be interesting to see how this year will shape up. Until now of course it has been relatively mild and the longer term forecast for the prefecture tells us that December should be around average or slightly warmer than average. This particular region of the prefecture doesn't always play by the rules though - and hopefully not this year!
