Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 163cm

Posted on Thursday 15th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Very light snowfall last night, with a total of 3cm on the driveway this morning.


Very light snow continues to fall, and hopefully (as the forecast has promised) this will get heavier during the day.


Again, it's looking so much better than last year that we can't worry too much!
