Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 1272cm
Posted on Friday 20th March 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Yesterday was one of those 'best forgotten' days in a season. Nasty rain falling lots of the time - and quite heavily at times - along with mild conditions. Just generally not very nice at all. The rain seemed to stop around late afternoon and early evening yesterday.
It was a bit colder last night but still keeping above zero, and this morning starts off with lots of cloud over the area.
Cloud and perhaps some sun making an appearance at times is forecast for the day with a high temp of around 10 degrees, followed by a good chance of sun again tomorrow.
I'm sure we are all still interested in this potential snowfall early next week... it still seems to be on the cards. Getting colder from Sunday and possibly snowfall Monday through Tuesday.
