Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 1302cm
Posted on Sunday 29th March 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
More blue sky above us this morning though cloudier out to the north and we are expecting cloudy conditions for the day today - and rain later on.
It will be interesting to see if we can get snowfall at higher elevations but with the freezing level not coming down much under 2000m we probably can't expect too much.
Back to sun on Monday and Tuesday with rain lined up for later in the week.
Today is the last day of the 2014-2015 season for a few resorts in the region - see below for details.
We will be keeping this Yuzawa Now report updated daily right though until the end of Golden Week in early May.
