Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 40cm
Snowfall at base this season 107cm

Posted on Sunday 11th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Gotta make it a fast one today - lots of snow on the ground today and three places to plow! Nice inside a hot mini-tractor, though. Better than plodding behind the snow thrower (clean and neat as it is).


You can see how snow really does define life for us in Myoko, whether it's lots of snow like right now, or a lack of snow like last season.


And it is a really good snowfall too, probably 40 cm. It's hard to tell because it keeps on falling steadily, and where the plow was an hour ago is white and soft now.


Big job to do, so I have to run, but it looks like a great start to the year.
