Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 91cm
Snowfall at base this season 1495cm

Posted on Thursday 14th February 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


I'm a little sheepish about yesterday's report; I wanted to get it out early, and report in the 20cm level.


And then it started to come down.


Our official poke in the snow, over 24 hours, is 91cm. That includes a lot from yesterday, and it is really coming down now - maybe 3 to 4 cm every hour (it's surprising, given that the snow is not falling that heavily around to the south, such as in Suginohara).


It's even worse at my house, which is open to the north; it's calm at base, but blowing hard from the north.


Probably the same on slopes open to the north wind (and it is cold today! Meaning very nice snow again).
