Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata

Posted on Monday 23rd January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


More snow! More fun! More shoveling!


Another 50+cm this morning, adding to our already healthy snowpack. Last year's low snow cover and high bush/tree factor are now gone from the collective consciousness.


I realized at the end of the day yesterday that I spaced out on the report - sorry about that! The result of throwing the seven belts that drive the auger of my snowthrower, then working with my trusty and reliable repairman so I kind of know what's going on under that fire engine red hood... It's back in action today, and so was I out running it to catch up on the snow that was devouring my house (so we're probably the last report today, but a sincere one).
