Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 80cm
Snowfall at base this season 691cm

Posted on Saturday 3rd January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


More snow today! And we're seeing some sun at the moment, making it that much more fun to enjoy the powder.


Sorry not to get a report out yesterday; after a crazy end to the first day of the year—trains stopped locally, expressway shut down, roads in a pretty bad state—follow up was pretty hard on the 2nd.


Today, though, we're back in order, ready to report, and with good news for snow hounds. Namely, I think we've had 80 cm or so over these two days - hard to tell with some winds along with the heavy snow, but lots of fresh.


The sun isn't staying out yet, but there's no wind at the moment, either.
