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


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this seas 1298cm

Posted on Monday 28th February 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


Well, we did get some rain yesterday though it was wet snow at higher elevations. And this morning there was even a thin layer of snow, just about allowing me to add 1cm to this report. Kagura are reporting 10cm of fresh snow.


The sun is out again this morning and it is remaining quite mild. There are a few small clouds here and there, but it is almost clear. (The clouds on the Maiko image below have cleared by now). Today should see the warmth of around 7C in town.


It's the last day of February already. Kind of hard to believe. But what a February it has been. Click on the Season archives tab above to see how we have now reported 1298cm of snowfall this season, with 495cm of that falling in February. The most snowfall in one report this season was 101cm on 6th February. And we reported snowfall at base on 21 days in February (and 61 days so far this season).


You can find the same data for each season - dating back to 2012-2013 - using the links at the bottom of all the Now reports.
