Independent snow and weather reporting from the Naeba region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 8cm
Snowfall at base this season 351cm

Posted on Friday 28th February 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Naeba Now report can be found here.


Morning from Naeba.


The snow has eased off after depositing another 8+cm or so. The sun is out. There's some blue sky but quite a lot of fast moving cloud at the moment.


Snow is good. Weather is good. Naeba is quiet. No doubt the top headline news of the moment is putting some people off.


For those that come, they should be enjoying themselves.


Take care, be aware, wash hands, have fun.
