Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 650cm
Posted on Sunday 21st February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Yesterday's warming is over; we got some rain from the late afternoon into the night, even pretty heavy around 7, but the moon came out around 10 and the rain stopped.
Light snow has been falling this morning, although it's stopped at the moment. Things look like they could change, though; the Coast Guard info shows some very strong winds offshore coming in from the northwest and west. I was just about to write that that could bring some good things, and sure enough the snow has suddenly really picked up here (yea!).
It's looking good, so I hope we'll have a snow report with lots of snow in it tomorrow. Just keep an eye on the wind today, as the gondolas and some of the top lifts sometimes stop in high wind. All OK at the moment, though.
We need the snow; look at the decline in snowpack at the resorts. Actually saw some grass poking up on the runs yesterday....
