Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 20cm
Snowfall at base this season 1146cm

Posted on Monday 2nd February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Getting a report out today before the official listing are up (on that road again).


It's hard to tell how much snow fell, as I did my snow clearing mid-day yesterday (and there was a lot on the ground). Let's say 20cm or so since then as my best judgement for the record....


Looks like some good snow again today; the wind is pretty strong and steady, even though the winds off the coast have come down a bit.


The barometer has been steady since yesterday—a big low pressure cell off the east coast of Hokkaido seems to be sitting still, so what we saw yesterday is likely to continue.
