Posted on Thursday 9th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
As expected we got some rain yesterday as temperatures remained fairly mild and not going down into negative numbers. It turned into light wet snow overnight but we don't have a whole lot to show for it, not down at town level anyway. Just a thin coating of new snow with the most being reported by Kagura at 5-10cm.
It is snowing now though and we should be seeing continued snowy conditions now for the next few days and so we're hopefully for a big delivery.
The local Niigata forecast just published tells us to expect up to 6cm of snow between now and 4pm today in Yuzawa.
