Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 814cm

Posted on Monday 14th March 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Woke up to some fresh, if very wet, snow. It's still coming down, light but steady, although it's piling up as slush rather than snow at our location here (about 670 meters, just below Akakan). We have about 5cm on the ground, which looks about the same up on the hill (Akakan and Suginohara both added another 5cm to their snowpack figures today, too).


We could be getting more light snow through the week, until that freezing line does start heading up again. At least there might be some sun before the possibility of rain on the weekend. At this point, it might as well be sunny and pleasant, since we most likely aren't going to see any major snowfall again this season.


It's getting pretty foggy at the moment, too, but at least snow is involved.
