Posted on Monday 18th March 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
It is really sunny today; perfect blue skies earlier, a little bit of haze and a few clouds drifting through the gap between Mt. Myoko and Mt. Kurohime to the south. We had a lot of snow falling in the afternoon and into the evening yesterday, but it didn't result in a whole lot of new snow on the pack.
The freezing level is going to be going up from now on, and possibly way up. The forecast had the peak around 3500 meters yesterday, but it's "down" to 3300 now.... So maybe a little rain ahead, sun for a few days. After all, we are in the last two weeks of the season for most of the resorts, which will be closing on the 31st. More on that as we get closer.
Oh, yeah, and it's not as cold as the resorts are reporting (it did get cold overnight, but it's really nice now).
