Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 20cm
Snowfall at base this season 556cm

Posted on Wednesday 22nd January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


The fog of yesterday did turn to snow, with some pretty nice snowfall high up on the mountain.


This morning the snow is falling in real Myoko style - it looks like a heavy drizzle and fog, but it's all snow. We haven't had so much accumulation yet, maybe 20cm at base, but if it keeps going at the same rate we could see a good coating of new fresh.


An excellent day to be out skiing, which I intend to do.


The nutty snow figures continue, with some areas reporting up to 40cm, others telling us nothing has fallen (or the level has even dropped). For the record I am logging my observed 20cm.
