Posted at 9:23am on Wednesday 21st November 2012 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Genuine snow down past the highway today; about 10cm at the lifts. Not enough to ski, of course, but it's the first for the season. Very heavy, too; glad a lot didn't fall, because these early snows always bring down trees and power lines. There were a few crews running around with power line equipment, so there must have been some minor damage.
I have set up a proper snow study area right near the house here (so just below the base at Akakan), so I can give more accurate snow depths and snowfall figures (but I won't bore you with snow density reports unless it's really light or super heavy). So I can tell you that we had exactly 8cm here, and a walk up to the lifts showed a little more. Not bad, huh? Now to set up the automated weather station (if prompt work payment comes in soon!).
