Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 536cm
Posted on Tuesday 21st January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
They said it would snow a lot last night - come to think of it, this writer may have made a similar hint - but only a light dusting overnight.
What it is doing out there is hard to tell, with a soupy fog now hanging over everything. No wonder one of the local dishes is kiri shita no soba (under-the-fog soba noodles). I hope that means a change in the weather, namely more snow.
We're still low this year, and could use a good blast to fill in the valleys and cover the small trees.
In our ongoing demand for good information, there was no official report from the town yesterday, and the Tourist Office website still has never been dated for three areas this entire season... yes, folks, I'm going to appeal to higher powers. So most reports are from yesterday, please add a cm or two.
