Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 16cm
Snowfall at base this seas 509cm

Posted on Sunday 11th February 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


After some rain the snow started to stick on the roads around 11pm and here's how much new snowfall we have received overnight:


- Kagura ski area is reporting 20cm

- Maiko Snow Resort is reporting 10cm

- Our measuring point in Yuzawa had 16cm (and to the north in the Minamiuonuma valley we measured 8cm)


So, it looks like we can probably expect 10-20cm or so of fresh snow out on the ski areas, with more as you go higher up. It's great to see that of course and all the trees loaded with snow again this morning.


It is currently slightly under 0C, still snowing lightly and that will probably ease off by around lunchtime.


There are possible occasional light snow showers and keeping fairly cold (or should I say, not warming up too much) through tomorrow, with a high of around +3C.


The really warm spell is expected from Tuesday through until around Thursday.
