Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 59cm
Snowfall at base this seas 1198cm
Posted on Tuesday 22nd February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Yesterday was cold and snowy. Very 'mid-winter'. By 6pm, there was 24cm of snow on our main measuring point. That was cleared and this morning there is an additional 35cm. So that's 59cm of new snowfall since yesterday morning.
That number is more than any ski area is reporting, and that is probably a mix of them being shy about snowfall when it's heavy and also due to the somewhat vague 'since last night' wording that goes on there.
But beyond the nerdy numbers... there's just lots of new snow! And there's more due today and tomorrow too. It's kind of light to moderate snow at the moment and -3C in town.
Thankfully it's not as windy this morning and so all ski areas are able to open. There may be a few delayed lifts and courses that are closed as the ski areas cope with the snow, but generally places are open.
