Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 808cm
Posted on Thursday 16th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Some light snow on and off during the day yesterday and I can just about add 1cm to the report, but there is no fresh snow on the ground this morning.
And as expected it looks like it is going to be a lovely clear and sunny day... and a warm day. Perhaps alarmingly so if temperatures rise up to around 10C as local forecasts still say. Tomorrow is going to remain similarly warm with things getting colder on Saturday - hopefully with some fresh snow to start the weekend off.
We have enjoyed some very nice conditions and regular snowfall recently so perhaps can't complain too much about a warm blip. As long as it is just a blip and we get back to more winter-like weather quickly!
Anyway today should be a very feel-good day to be out on the mountains.
(I have to get out early to meet someone this morning, and so some of the snow depth numbers below are not updated for the day).
