Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata

Snowfall at base this season 357cm

Posted on Friday 25th December 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Merry Myoko Christmas! And it is a white one out here, with the snow really coming down hard now (getting ready for a mid-day snow clearing).


I actually heard rain in the middle of the night; we wake up a lot when there's a sound outside. Have to be ready for action. That was not a real pleasant sound, but the temperatures kept going down so that by 5am or so the white stuff was starting to come down.


Really nice snow coming now.


Tomorrow all the areas should be open, and we've got the snow ready for it!
