Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this seas 795cm
Posted on Saturday 4th March 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Fine weather yesterday - and some really nice snow to be found too - with clouds gradually appearing later in the day.
And this morning, we have a bit of another surprise. No cm of snow is being reported by either Kagura or Maiko, but there has actually been a dusting that can justify 1cm in this report. It is a very cloudy start to the day with some light (wet) snow falling, which feels unexpected.
The latest forecasts talk more of cloud than sun for today and the precipitation is not expected to last.
The 'sunny every day' thing now seems due to resume from tomorrow.
In the ongoing 'Yuzawa Fireworks' event, there is a display planned at Yuzawa Kogen today from 8:00pm. That is at the end of the 'Yuzawa Market' event that is happening along the onsen road of central Yuzawa and the station, with street food and drink available.
Tomorrow there should be fireworks at Nakazato Snow Wood from 7:00pm.
