Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 596cm

Posted on Sunday 5th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Cold and clear this morning (so no plowing and no particular plans mean a morning of rest for your writer).


Really nice conditions out there; the snow-loaded trees have made for Christmas card scenery for the whole season. Oh, and good snow to slide on, of course.


A little breeze from the west, too, and we haven’t had much wind.
