Independent snow and weather reporting from the Yuzawa & Minamiuonuma region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 16cm
Snowfall at base this season 861cm
Posted on Saturday 9th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Yuzawa Now report can be found here.
Snow most of the day yesterday which was good to see and I cleared away 15cm of snow last night and there's 1cm more there this morning.
Kagura this morning are reporting 10cm of fresh snowfall and Maiko Snow Resort are reporting 5-10cm.
This morning it is generally cloudy over the region.
Sounds like it is going to be snowing in Tokyo this morning. Heavy snow alert! 5cm! Here in Snow Country we can have a bit of a laugh at such a small amount, but if you're not prepared for it or used to it, just a bit of snow can cause big problems. This weekend is one of the most popular of the season because Monday is a national holiday. The weather conditions in the capital region may well put some people off being away for the weekend... Take care everyone.
Hopefully more fresh snow tonight and snow falling tomorrow too.
