Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 1001cm

Posted on Friday 23rd January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Another cycle of weather is moving through Myoko today, after a rainy and generally gray Thursday. We've got wind, snow, poor visibility - all the things that seem to happen after a warm day or two.


Actually, this January has been an odd one; usually this is the month where we don't see the sun very often; February has seen some rain and warm spells before going back to nice powder late in the month and into March. This has also meant more unstable conditions in the mountains than we'd normally expect, and with this wind, it will be a good idea to be extra careful if you head off of the resorts.


Personally, I'm just happy that the monster snowthrower has returned from the shop, and the windows have been cleared away—no more living in a dark (although warm) cave.
