Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 1007cm
Posted on Friday 15th March 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Light snow continued after my report was posted but it didn't really result in much more on the ground (the 1cm in the report today is from yesterday morning). Great to see that snow though and with the clearer conditions later in the day I am sure people enjoyed it. Even with the rather blowy wind.
This morning there are clear blue skies all around - it's a beautiful morning. Quite cold too but likely to warm up to around 7-8C in town later in the afternoon.
And then guess what, we might get more fresh snow falling during the day tomorrow (and perhaps Sunday too) with clearer skies once again next week
Lots of changes at the moment...
