Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this seas 583cm
Posted on Tuesday 5th March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
It's a cloudy start to the day and that is pretty much what is expected for the day. There is still quite a bit of low cloud/fog around in places and currently just under +1C in town.
Kagura reports 10cm of fresh snow since yesterday and Maiko reports 5cm. While it has almost gone now, we measured another 4cm during yesterday.
Tonight and into tomorrow we're due more precipitation. That might well start as rain in town (again), but hopefully it will be straight to snow in higher elevations. Difficult to know how much to expect out of it.
Looks like the weekend will see more snowfall too.
