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


New snowfall at base 11cm
Snowfall at base this seas 456cm

Posted on Sunday 28th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.


We had snow falling through lots of the day again yesterday around town areas and just to the north, ending up with 11cm more to add to this report. With the way it was snowing it feels like there should have been more. The snow seems a bit wetter than the snow we received in the previous days.


There is still some scattered light snow showers in some areas, and for the most part it should be a cloudy day with the chance of light snow at times.


After some windy conditions, there's less wind this morning and all ski areas should be open as planned.


The forecast for early week is for not as cold temps with an increasing chance of clearer skies with sun. Particularly on Tuesday.


Hopefully this time the temperatures won't rise that much even when the sun comes out...
