Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 6cm
Snowfall at base this season 927cm
Posted on Saturday 11th March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
And after a day of part fine / part cloud yesterday, it was snowing (rather wet snow) in the evening and overnight.
Here's how much fresh snow resorts are reporting this morning:
Kagura (main): 20cm
Kagura (Mitsumata): 10cm
Kagura (Tashiro): 15cm
Maiko Snow Resort: 10-15cm
Not as much as that on the ground in town - we are measuring 6cm - but it is snowing still now. It's not expected to continue much longer though with something of a clear up of conditions forecast by this afternoon.
Tomorrow should be fine and sunny and getting slightly milder again.
We can look forward to more snow next week though probably around Wednesday and Thursday. Let's keep the regular top-ups going...
