Posted on Friday 13th March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
A bit of snow overnight; I woke up way too early this morning to what sounded like rain falling, but by this morning about 5 cm of new on the ground...and it’s just started to snow again right now.
Not super heavy, but it’s snow.
I saw a kamoshika out in the woods yesterday (people call them antelope-gaits, but they’re related to neither, and maybe more closely to cows. But not that close). I heard someone say they saw a bear on the Champion side of Akakan yesterday, but that’s very unlikely. Probably one of those weirdly-eared (kinda looks like dog ears), chunky kamoshika.
