Independent snow and weather reporting from the Madarao region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 661cm

Posted on Friday 13th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


Morning from Madarao.


The ski area was not reporting any cm of fresh snow this morning but there was 2-3cm on the point I use for my measurements. Nothing significant.


OK so the morning started generally cloudy but there's an increasing amount of blue sky and some sun. A fine day indeed to be out and about.


It's going to be quite mild... and then warmer still over the weekend. More than we would like, but what can we do!


There is some snow there on the forecast for next week, but whether we can expect anything significant, well I suppose will have to wait and see.


In the meantime, let's enjoying.
