Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 25cm
Snowfall at base this season 396cm

Posted on Friday 19th December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Cold and clear this morning; Akakan and Ikenotaira picked the perfect day to start the season! Just a little extra snow overnight—maybe 25-30cm (funny when a foot of snow seems like "just a little").


It probably won't last, though, as the forecast for the near future is for continued snowfall.
