Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 20cm
Snowfall at base this season 1056cm

Posted on Thursday 29th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


A beautiful, cold, clear day today.


The morning started pretty dramatically, with a pure white Myoko peak and Jupiter just setting to its north side, then a spectacular yellow sunrise hitting the peak. The trees are covered in white, too - just a beautiful, Christmas card kind of look.


A lot colder, too, and the snow was light (another useful side to having to clear snow: you really get to know when it's nice and light, or wet and heavy).


The sun probably won't last long, though; there are some clouds to the north over the sea, and snow is on the forecast for the rest of the week.
