Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 26cm
Snowfall at base this season 836cm
Posted on Saturday 2nd February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
By 5pm last night there was 20cm of snow since the morning and this morning I have just cleared another 6cm, so that makes 26cm in total to add to my report this morning.
Light snow has been falling early on this morning but it seems to be quickly clearing and there's increasingly blue sky appearing over Yuzawa as I write this, with more cloud still to the north over Minamiuonuma.
Tomorrow is still very likely to be sunny and warm with temps possibly rising to close on +10C in town in the afternoon. We can just hope that it quickly cools down again sometime on Monday, and happily we do have more snow lined up there on the forecast.
All ski resorts in the area appear to be opening as planned this morning.
Have a fun Saturday.
