Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano


New snowfall at base 28cm
Snowfall at base this season 845cm

Posted on Friday 10th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Another 28cm of fresh light snow this morning.


And guess what - it's still snowing... and coming down pretty heavily right at this moment, with a gusty wind as well for good measure.


Not best conditions for everyone but once this calms down we should be in for another treat with the conditions.


Can't think of much else to say really. Should be an excellent weekend. Just wrap up well and bring your goggles. If we are lucky we might see some breaks in the clouds at times.
