Independent snow and weather reporting from the Geto Kogen region of Iwate


New snowfall at base 42cm
Snowfall at base this season 386cm

Posted on Saturday 29th December 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Geto Kogen Now report can be found here.


Lots more snow this morning - a good 40cm, bringing the official snow depth numbers up to 240cm.


It was snowing again for the day yesterday and this morning... it's snowing still! Oh yes. Perhaps it might ease off during the day and leave us with cloud but for now it's coming down.


This is an impressive way to end the year and we are going to enter January in very fine shape. It does look like this particular storm will be easing off starting from tomorrow...


Looking forward to those tree runs opening up. No word yet - perhaps soon?


Nighta tonight.
