Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 156cm
Posted on Sunday 5th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Cloudy and sort of snowing on and off yesterday, and overnight too.
Result - resorts around town are reporting 10-15cm of fresh snow since yesterday. I had 10cm to clear off the car this morning.
Feels a bit the same this morning with light snow falling and cloudy but there have been glimpses of sunlight and signs that clouds might clear up a bit. Even some patches of blue sky over Minamiuonuma a bit earlier, but as I write this it has clouded over again and that light lazily falling snow is back with us. It's not going to give us much in terms of new cm though falling like it is.
A quick look at the forecasts. Some have this kind of light snow on and off over the next few days, others give us more of a chance of sun. All a bit mixed really. What does look promising is from Thursday onwards with decent snowfall and colder temperatures. That's what we'll need to keep our eyes on.
Last day of the holidays and typically less busy as people check out and go back home. From tomorrow, just a normal Monday for most people.
The busy holidays mean that generally courses are tracked out, so that upcoming snow refill would be very welcome.
