Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 12cm
Snowfall at base this season 447cm
Posted on Thursday 10th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
An early report this morning. (Your reporter desperately wants to get out early on the skis this morning.)
After the snow, it's clearer blue skies this morning with just a little cloud here and there. Cold too!
Snow fell during the day yesterday, not as heavily as it had been by the afternoon, but I measured 12cm since morning by 5pm. There's no more to report this morning other than a slight dusting.
All the ski resorts should be open this morning and it's good to see the Southern Area of GALA Yuzawa also getting back open and also the Gondola at Maiko.
Also good to see some official snow depths reaching 3m (though the actual snow that has fallen is more important than those numbers).
It should be a fine morning, with perhaps a little wind.
We might even get a little snow overnight, but watch the temperatures - hopefully it's going to keep low enough.
