Posted on Wednesday 30th December 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
Snow is falling very lightly now on a mild day in Myoko.
Looks nice for the rest of the week up until the weekend, then some very weird things look likely. The local news has already warned people that their pickled goods (lots of people make tsukemono, Japanese-style picked daikon and other vegetables) are under threat from high temperatures.
And the official weather reports also see the freezing line going almost to the top of Mt. Myoko on Saturday and Sunday, with some screaming winds possible as well... Let's hope this one gets less severe as we get closer - it does happen in the mountains! Weather is never completely a fixed thing up here.
