Posted on Friday 1st February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Good morning from Yuzawa.
This morning Kagura are reporting 30cm of fresh snowfall and Maiko Snow Resort are reporting 20-30cm.
We have measured 32cm in town (and 35cm to the north of Yuzawa in the Shiozawa area of Minamiuonuma) and that what is going on the report. All those numbers sound like a good start to February!
Visibility is very limited in places though this morning and snow is forecast for most of the day today so not conditions for everyone.
Cloud with light snow is forecast for tomorrow and then some sunshine on Sunday - along with those rather warm temps that we are expecting.
-----
Looks like the Tashiro Area of Kagura is closed due to wind conditions.
Other ski resorts appear to be opening as normal. Doesn't feel particularly winds down here in town...
