Independent snow and weather reporting from the Madarao region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 22cm
Snowfall at base this season 514cm

Posted on Monday 26th January 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Madarao Now report can be found here.


This morning I can add another 22cm of snowfall (the ski area is reporting 20cm).


Feels like it is about to ease off and possibly clear. Some hints of light blue in places over on the Tangram side.


Or at least just be cloudy for the day.


Cold outside and very nice snow.


We might get some sunshine tomorrow morning with more snow later going into Wednesday.
