Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 806cm

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


Sorry to be late today, but a little accident at the Junior Olympics going on until today in Akakura (not me, luckily, but some running around to hospitals and such).


Anyway, maybe it was a good thing to be a bit behind schedule. The morning was, to be nice, non-descript. It even rained a bit in the Arai area of town.


At the moment, though, it is snowing, and that makes us happy. The wind is now coming in pretty strong off the ocean from the north, bringing pretty fine snow with it.


Fine, but it's actually starting to build up a bit - could it be that we get some fresh added to our declining snowpack? Not to jinx it, but it's looking pretty good.


Hope to report (earlier tomorrow) with some good news.
