Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 303cm
Posted on Wednesday 29th December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
We have a day of sun and blue skies after our multiple days of snowfall. Although I love having continuous days of the white stuff falling (seems like this is happening less and less), if is nice to have one day to let the sun warm up roofs (so snow slides off) and the roads (so driving is a little smoother). Oh, yeah, and to see the whole surface of the car without snow caked on everything.
But it looks like the snow will return again tomorrow and keep visiting us all the way into the new year, so all good in that respect! The winds area coming in pretty strong along the coast from the west, and we are seeing some westerly gusts snow blowing off the roofs now. A good day to go out and enjoy that nice snowpack, on slopes that are pretty smooth and consistent (and no bare spots!).
