Posted on Monday 8th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Yesterday the snow was on and off for most of the day until mid afternoon - and actually falling quite heavily at some times, I'm happy to report so I imagine a fairly decent amount fell especially in higher areas.
There was probably a 3-4cm of snow fall in town before it cleared up.
Come 3pm and there was quite a lot of blue sky as the clouds started to disperse leaving us with a generally clear evening.
There has been no further new snowfall overnight.
This morning as expected the day has started with blue skies and sunshine. Clear skies all around and a cold start so it should be a good morning though we are expecting things to get warmer this afternoon.
But things are still looking good for snow tomorrow, with heavy snow possible tomorrow night.
Happy Chinese New Year to everyone!
