Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 856cm
Posted on Friday 30th March 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
We did get rained on later in the day yesterday, but it is dry this morning with an early mix of blue sky and cloud - both white and grey.
Sunny skies are what the forecasts tell us to expect today and without wanting to sound repetitive, that is what we should be having until at least the middle of next week too. And while it is going to be a little colder today (a high of about 8C expected in town), it will be warming up again from tomorrow with temperatures reaching 20C on Sunday and early in the week.
People who suffer from hay fever come prepared - a high pollen count is also likely, especially from Sunday.
There are now just three days left in the season for a few ski resorts in the area. From Monday I will be re-arranging the resort specific data posted below.
