Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 30cm
Snowfall at base this season 30cm
Posted on Saturday 27th November 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
The first real snow on the ground at base level means we can officially start reports for the 2021-2022 season!
Looks like about 30cm at the end of the day, and it's still coming down at a very gentle pace. Lots of lightening and thunder since the afternoon, too, something that often happens a lot here before heavy snow falls, and especially graupel (soft hail). Lots of hose little balls of snow out there!
Pretty much a normal snowfall for this time of year, and, as usual, the forecast is for some sunny weather to follow the snow, which probably will continue into tomorrow.
The resorts are scheduled for opening around the 18th of December, snow permitting, so getting a good base going would be great.
Like everyone else, we're all just waiting to see what happens in the ever-changing world of the pandemic. People are hopeful for more domestic travel, at least, but with new virus strains continuing to emerge and cases rising in many places, the locals are getting ready for another possibly tough year (big sigh). No major developments to announce, either. Let's just hope the La Nina forecasts come true and we get a great snow year (falling all the way through April? Yes, please!)
