Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 8cm
Snowfall at base this season 845cm
Posted on Friday 8th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
After that rather prolonged spell of mild (with a bit of rain added into the mix last night), it is sure good to see some fresh snow this morning.
Maiko Snow Resort is reporting 5-10cm and Kagura are reporting 10cm. I have measured 8cm. So that gives you a good idea of what to expect. Not enough to give us a deep fresh cover yet, but an improvement and hopefully we will get some more today (though I'm not sure we should expect too much).
The forecasts are still looking good for the chance of some fairly regular snow over the coming week.
It's noticeably colder too and temps today should remain just under zero.
Monday is a national holiday in Japan so the upcoming weekend is a long 3-day one for many. It's a busy one traditionally so come on nature.. bit more fresh please!
