Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 19cm
Snowfall at base this seas 711cm
Posted on Friday 22nd March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
We had snow on and off during the day yesterday and after more fairly heavy snow overnight, I just measured another 19cm. (Maiko Snow Resort was reporting 15cm earlier on).
And it's still snowing! There's even some decent mini snow walls appearing by the side of roads.
Beyond this morning there isn't much snow on the forecast for the week ahead and it is expected to be milder, so there is a fair chance that this might be our last fresh delivery of the season.
But what a late season it has been.
(The forecast for tomorrow currently seems to be a mix of light snow/sleet/rain clearing up to give us some sunshine later on).
