Independent snow and weather reporting from the Myoko region of Niigata


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 286cm

Posted on Tuesday 9th January 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Myoko Now report can be found here.


Cold and clear overnight, so the snow surface is sparkling this morning.


It is a beautiful day; would have liked the snow to continue a bit more, but it has a chance to settle a bit now, and more snow seems to be coming later in the day. Rain and thunder down lower, they're predicting.


I'm out for a walk in our newly-snowy world, so the reports will probably once again be from yesterday; will note where the news is in fact NEW.
