Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 12cm
Snowfall at base this season 467cm

Posted on Thursday 17th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


It is a beauty of a morning too, despite the forecasts showing cloud and snow.


Perhaps it will cloud over quickly today but for now there are lovely blue skies over Yuzawa and Minamiuonuma.


12cm of snowfall measured yesterday evening with just a sprinkling overnight.


Wonder when it will start snowing again? I will be sure to make a note and let you know tomorrow.
