Posted at 12:48pm on Wednesday 9th January 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.
A sunny morning but dark clouds over Myoko; slightly warmer weather and the barometer a bit down... could this mean some snow is on the way? We believe so and hope so!
What I'm really hoping for is when the report says "moderate snow" because that's when meters of the stuff fall. Right now it's gray and getting foggier, maybe meaning the lowering freezing line that's supposed to happen through the day. The wind is starting to pick up from the north, too, so the weather is changing, whatever happens.
