Posted on Thursday 5th March 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Snow is falling today.


Which is nice, and, if the prefecture's max forecast is correct, we could have up to 30cm by tomorrow. Their 12-hour forecast was right on the money today with 3cm.


It's brightening a bit out there right now, and the snow has tapered off a bit, but it's still coming down, so let's hope!
