Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 1665cm

Posted on Friday 1st April 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Man, that snow kept pounding down all night; all my shovels got buried so it took hours to get out and get things clear. Heavy, wet snow all over everything....


OK, I'm terrible at this April 1 fool stuff. It got colder and we got one (1) centimeter of snow. April came in not exactly like a lion, but maybe like a chilly lamb. We do have a cold north wind coming in, so even though it's supposed to get sunnier it's not going to get all that warm today or tomorrow (my recording thermometer is telling me that it got down to -1.66°C overnight). Weird, huh? But that's not a terrible combination, really; for the last real weekend of the season (and the end for most resorts), it's going to be sunny, but hopefully the snow won't be too mushy and nasty to ski in/on.
