Posted on Monday 18th January 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Running a little late today; actually had a fun evening out locally at our neighborhood izakaya, where the clever owner built an amazing customizable set of acrylic walls to give us the viral protection we need (especially when things get loud, as often happens in this kind of setting).
Can't say things are normal, but at least there are some safe places where you can still do sort of normal stuff here. Well, the ski fields are always there and viral-killing cold, right?
Beautiful day of light and shadows, with blue skies and drifting clouds. Very dramatic dark and light scenes, with sparkling snow below (and a little fresh overnight). Nice day for some sliding, and more snow should be on the way, too.
