Posted on Sunday 2nd March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Back in the snow column today. Not a lot, but it's better than rain and declining snowpack!
The temperatures being reported are interesting, though: Seki Onsen says it was -5, Akakura Onsen 2. The latter looks more likely, with my trusty car thermometer telling me it was 1 degree down in town near the highway.
More extremes in the weather look likely ahead, too, form rain mid-week to much colder temperature and the chance of some more serious snow a little later. It seems like it's been crazy most everywhere, and Myoko is no exception!
