Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata
New snowfall at base 40cm
Snowfall at base this season 175cm
Posted on Sunday 5th January 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
A good night of snow, as we exactly matched the Niigata prefecture forecast of 40cm.
It's still snowing now, after the usual early-morning Myoko sudden break in the weather, with the sun looking like it could peek out as the wind goes down. The sun is gone, with a little fog coming in at the moment.
The wind was pretty strong early in the morning; it's a bit variable at the moment, with some moderate winds and calm times as well (meaning it's hard to see how it will be on the lifts in a few minutes).
The snow, though, will be good, and the addition will really help with the bare spots, icy sections and occasional weeds poking through yesterday,
