Posted on Thursday 17th January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Sunny this morning, but with a few clouds starting to drift in over the mountains.
Sun is nice, of course, but snow comes from clouds, right? (And we locals like it best when it's blasting down, blindingly deep, soft underfoot....). But it is colder, and it was pretty cold last night.
We matched yesterday's fall by this morning, too, maybe even slightly more than yesterday. Some settling overnight as the snow stopped and the stars came out.
So once again we're waiting for another reset of the hill.
