Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 597cm
Posted on Thursday 13th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The snow actually slowed and stopped yesterday; the initial forecast is that it would keep on snowing and then get very heavy today, but that's OK. It's started up again in the last hour or so and is predicted to get crazy later in the day and into the night. Very dramatic life here. Interestingly, the snow is coming from the west right now; it will be fun to see what happens as it swings around to the northwest, which is the normal direction for the big snowfalls. Am I obsessing about snow conditions? Yes, I am, and that is what happens when you live here.
It's funny when I think about it how much everybody around here, and not only snow reporters, does this very thing. We're watching and predicting and planning (no wagering, of course) because we have to deal with the results if we want to be able to move cars and get into homes, little things like that.
I'm rambling, because I'm excited about another big snowstorm.
