Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 0cm
Snowfall at base this season 136cm
Posted on Tuesday 31st December 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Yesterday saw those fine skies over the valley once again with cloud and even snow falling to the north in Niigata Prefecture. They seem to have wanted to just avoid the Minamiuonuma district.
It's actually partly the same again today - more cloud and a greyer start to the day, but it's just cloudy and no snow falling early on... though I hear that to the north once again the snow clouds are delivering some fairly big flakes of snow. Oh the waste!
We got just a very slight dusting of snow overnight both at lower levels and up at Kagura and Naeba.
Snow might be falling as the day progresses though and definitely tomorrow.
It's keeping fairly mild for the moment and currently +1 in town.
Here's to a safe and snowy 2014. From SnowJapan World HQ here in Mimaniuonuma, we wish everyone who reads and supports our site as well as all our Japanese skijo and related friends, a very fine New Year.
(Lots of snow please).
