Posted on Monday 4th January 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
A quiet snow day; not a lot of new to add to the pack today, but nobody's complaining about the conditions in Myoko this year!
Nice and cold overnight to keep things light, and pretty nice snow crystals (not really pretty stars, but still with plenty of air in there to keep things powdery).
There's a funny weather front extending out from the Koreas to about Sado Island that is changing the wind direction — no northwest blasting Siberian winds coming over the Sea of Japan for a few days. So maybe lighter snowfalls for a few days, but looking pretty good for Friday and on!
