Posted on Thursday 8th February 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Those lovely blue skies lasted until around lunchtime yesterday, when clouds quite quickly moved in from the north and it started snowing.
This morning there's 10cm of fresh on the ground. (Kagura is reporting 15cm; Maiko Snow Resort is reporting 10cm).
...and, once again, beautiful clear skies over Yuzawa.
Clouds, once again, are starting the day off to the north of us.
It's a chilly start to the morning but we are expecting temperatures to be somewhat higher over the next few days, especially on Saturday (rising to around +7 or 8C) when it might rain before the next snow starts falling, which is due late Saturday or into Sunday.
This time the forecasts all seem to agree that tomorrow should see sunshine during the day.
