Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 44cm
Snowfall at base this season 522cm
Posted on Friday 13th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
After a year when the faucet seemed all plugged up, the snow is flowing in real Myoko style today. The total I got was a little less than expected, part of which could be a little natural settling of the snow.
But 44cm (the average of a series of pokes on my study plot) is nothing bad, and it's likely more up high.
Add to that the promise of even heavier snow from later today, and things are starting to look very good in Myoko!
We haven't had much of the winds that are also expected; it was pretty blustery last night, but only light winds this morning.
There are strong northerly and western winds off the coast, which is always a good sign of snow, too.
