Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 1046cm

Posted on Monday 6th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


I decided not to jump out of bed early this morning (still got up early; just decided not to move much) when I heard rain dripping from the roof.


By 8 am, though, that rain had turned to snow, so time to get up and move some around so the fresh can start piling up again. Not a lot yet, but it's coming down pretty steadily now.


The wind is coming in off the ocean from the northwest, completely different from yesterday and the usually accompaniment to snow.
