Posted on Wednesday 8th January 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
No snowplow to wake us up this morning, but it was really starting to come down around 6am. It’s since tapered off a bit, but the snow is still coming down moderately.
There were some alerts coming in from one of the big Japanese apps last night that we could see up to one meter, but that doesn’t look likely, at least here.
The wind is coming in from the west and could get a lot stronger into tomorrow, which might mean more snow for Joetsu and other places along the coast.
It will be interesting for us weather watchers, but the important thing, of course, is a bit of nice fresh soft stuff on what was getting to be a pretty hard snow surface, at least at the bottom of the resorts.
