Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this seas 16cm
Posted on Monday 13th December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
First up. Kagura is closed this morning. Strong winds being the reason.
At the time of this report there is no info on how much snow they have received up there at Kagura - will update this later if we have that number. Unfortunately GALA seem to have taken their webcams offline (hopefully temporarily) so we can't take a look there either.
Further down the mountains, there has definitely been snow. Around town areas just a little, getting more as you go higher. We were hoping for more, and let us hope that we do get some more during the day today - it is due to remain cold.
Tomorrow and Wednesday clearer skies are forecast again before a return to snow at the end of the week.
