Posted on Saturday 13th January 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Another day of a lot of places around us getting crazy heavy snow, and us getting not all that much.
We got 14cm up to this morning, after a really cold night that if nothing else probably kept the snow up high on the mountain in good condition. It's snowing now high up on Mt. Myoko, sunny to the south and east, and dark again out towards the ocean. Could use some more snow before we get another warm wave around Wednesday; the one good news was that the predicted freezing line (the line of 0°C) has come down from 2500 meters to 2050. Still strange for January, but hopefully it will come down even more (don’t need rain!).
A lot of the temperatures below are from early in the day; it did go down to about -10°C at base level last night.
