Posted at 9:04am on Friday 8th March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Yesterday turned out to be a rather hazy day, but definitely warm. Very spring-like.
The skies are a bit clearer and blue-er this morning, and it's another warm start to the day.... about +7C now at 9am with a high of above 10C forecast for the early afternoon today.
Some mixed messages on different forecasts, but rain seems to be a common feature later today/tonight and overnight, hopefully clearing up by the time the lifts start tomorrow. We're hoping that will be coming down as snow at higher elevations.
So higher elevations will be the pick of the bunch for the weekend for the best chance of better snow conditions.
