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


New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 620cm

Posted on Wednesday 1st February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Yuzawa and it is a beautiful start to the day with clear blue skies. Can't say I was expecting it, but it is a nice surprise.


No new snowfall overnight but a few cm from yesterday added to the report today.


This may well be one of those calm-before-the-storm moments as it is forecast to be snowing by later this afternoon (rain first in town?) and then snow tomorrow and perhaps into Friday.


Should be a fantastic morning though!
