Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 22cm
Snowfall at base this season 392cm

Posted on Saturday 21st January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Fresh snow! Not a huge amount, but it is still falling, and even more heavily than earlier in the morning.


It was pretty windy overnight, with lots of drifts around the house before I threw the snow far away from my driveway. The wind is light to moderate now, but it looks like it's picking up again.


I hope we get a lot more; I want to see the real Myoko: cars backed up on the way to the resorts, endless snow clearing, poor visibility and lots and lots of snow.
