Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 819cm

Posted on Thursday 20th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


The blue skies lasted until the late afternoon yesterday, when clouds settled in around the peaks and it looked like snow could be falling. Not much overnight, but the snow has really turned on since a little before 8 this morning. Lots of snow clearing ahead — the morning forecast says 70cm for the mountainous regions of Nagano and Niigata, and that's us (with Myoko in this little piece of land surrounded by Nagano in three directions). We can usually beat the odds though; OK, what does everybody wager? Prizes will (not) be awarded to the closest guess! A game all of us here play....
