Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 34cm
Snowfall at base this season 515cm

Posted on Wednesday 2nd January 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


More snow after one day of sun.


Nice to have the sun, not the least to bring down the snow that built up on the roof (that wind will pack it in!).


Nice snow today, too - starry shaped (well, parts of stars anyway). Plenty of air in there, anyway, to make for your sliding pleasure.


Not much to say yet; still tired from snow clearing! When something comes up, I will of course be yakking at you....
