Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 90cm
Snowfall at base this season 201cm
Posted on Sunday 14th December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
This would have been a nice, early report if it weren't for the (dramatic pause, please) nearly one meter of snow that fell overnight.
Thanks to my highly sensitive testing methods - ruler on the leg up to the snow level point, discovered as the snowthrower cut through the drifts - I found 95cm of snow on the driveway. Some from yesterday was there; let's say 90cm of fresh.
And it's still snowing.
Looks like we're getting 2cm or more every hour.
Traffic will be terrible, especially along the coast with the north wind picking up right now. But that's nothing, when it looks so great (and with skiing to do soon....)
Akakura Onsen:
160cm, -1/-3°
Kumado No. 1, 4, 5 lifts
Myoko Suginohara:
150cm, -3/-6°
Gondola only, today, then back next weekend
