Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 1246cm

Posted on Friday 13th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


As predicted, the snow is falling in Myoko today, and it is coming down pretty hard right now. The wind is pretty strong as well—some good gusting and blowing a few minutes ago. Could be pretty blustery high up on the hill.


There's a solid low pressure system coming in just to the north, then some high pressure further west that will probably give us some sun again early next week.


At least with snow falling the car (and the snow banks) are clean again. These mini-spring days of sun and warm and melt make everything brown.... Not ready to give up non winter yet!
