Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 105cm
Posted on Saturday 2nd January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
There's no fresh cm of snowfall to report this morning though it was snowing for parts of yesterday, just nothing major.
Clouds remain over the region this morning though no snowfall is expected today. What we are expecting is mild conditions as later on today high of around 8 degrees might be reached. A similar situation is expected for tomorrow as well. Not the kind of thing we want to hear but avoiding rain during the warmer periods is a plus, so hopefully we can do that.
Temperatures should drop as we get to Tuesday and on that day we might get a new layer of snow.
