The final report from Myoko for season 2017-2018.

The season is really coming to an end, as Akakura Kanko ends its year today.

The last day for Akakura Onsen, and we have fresh snow on the ground!

Wasn’t necessarily planning on writing every day, but I had to with snow on the ground. Very light, but it’s snow, and very fine snow is falling at the moment.

It's here: the last day for the season at most of the resorts.

Early report again for the second-to-the-last-day for most of the Myoko area resorts.

All that talk of heavy snow (NHK!) has not come to anything in Myoko (although the TV did show us the “heavy” snow falling in Kanagawa).

The rain has turned to light snow; the national news is still reporting that it could really snow tomorrow.

Strong north winds through the day and especially in the evening yesterday.

Surprise again, as we got just under an inch of snow (more little graupel, or soft hail pellets).

Snow on the ground this morning - and happy to see more, as the snow walls along the roads are really, really low.

Sunny and nice today, a little fresh snow on top.

We got the rain, we got the wind, but we didn’t get the heavy snow some sites were predicting.

That wind keeps on blowing; once again, it’s shifted from the north to the southwest, and the snow that north wind was bringing has now ended.
