Posted on Friday 3rd March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
And it is good to see some fresh snow on the ground this morning.
Yesterday fairly quickly became a generally 'cloudy/overcast' day with some rain starting in the afternoon. But it turning into snow overnight of course and here are the numbers being reported:
Kagura: 5-10cm
Maiko Snow Resort: up to 15cm
I am posting the report from near Ishiuchi this morning and there's just about 1cm here; and 4cm at our Yuzawa measuring point. So expect a light layer on lower slopes by town and something more substantial in higher areas.
It is still snowing now and with clear skies (and warmer conditions again) expected tomorrow, we want as much as possible to fall during the day today... it's forecast to be snowing until evening.
