Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 20cm
Snowfall at base this season 1073cm
Posted on Monday 9th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Guess what... it ended up overcast and cloudy again yesterday!
Another very busy day out there by the looks, and happily the rain waited until late on to start. Then it turned into snow.
This morning at my place here in Minamiuonuma, there's 35cm of snow on the top of my car. Seems we generally got more than Yuzawa as my colleague has just called with his observation of 20cm. Maiko Snow Resort nearby is saying 20-30cm, as is Kagura higher up. So 20cm goes on the report (but there's definitely 35cm on my car!)
Snow forecast all day today along with moderate wind, but all resorts are going to be open as normal. Kagura are not posting any wind-affected news just yet anyway.
Snow forecast for tomorrow too with some forecasts giving us a bit of a break from it around Wednesday - before a return to snow late week.
Limited visibility and colder than the weekend. Currently -4C in town.
It's going to be fresh out there!
