Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 1180cm
Posted on Monday 16th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Morning from Yuzawa and it's a much calmer start to the day today.
Snow through most of the day yesterday, along with some strong winds as well. There was a part clearing of the clouds mid afternoon for a short time but it wasn't long lived with snow and wind suddenly back.
Conditions eased during by late evening and there was no new snowfall since last night, though I see Kagura is reporting 10cm. There was another 15cm of snow during the day though, so that is what I'm logging for the report. Strong winds yesterday made for calling the numbers different!
So this morning is calmer and while there is a lot of cloud around there's also some blue sky here and there. Forecast says to expect more of that and maybe some sunny conditions later in the day which should be quite mild with temps in low positive numbers.
Cloud tomorrow, with more snow forecast for Wednesday and Thursday.
Kandatsu Kogen is open again today after being closed yesterday due to an avalanche. Safety confirmed and all back to normal now.
All of Kagura should be open as normal as well this morning. Conditions are going to be superb up there with no-one playing in the all that snow over the weekend.
In fact it should be great everywhere!
