Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 4cm

Posted on Friday 29th November 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


I am going to put in a report here, because we did get measurable snow and it should go in the record. Total snowfall is of course total snowfall, and while it's probably going to get washed out by rain over the weekend (as the freezing level goes back over 2,000 meters), the mountain may get more snow. So we officially begin today (which is still Thanksgiving in the States, and we are thankful for snow).


It's actually a nice day right now. The trees are sparkling with drops of water from the snow melting in the sun, and it is sunny, which we are also thankful for because pretty soon we might not see the sun for extended periods. The joys of mountain life (it's much better when we can be out skiing in that gloom and snow, of course).


Looks like we could get a decent fall overnight, too. Will report if it falls!
