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


New snowfall at base 12cm
Snowfall at base this season 387cm

Posted on Saturday 11th February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


We have had light snow falling early this morning but that seems to have eased off and there is sun breaking through clouds in places.


Yakebitaiyama were reporting 15cm of snowfall early morning and Kumanoyu are also reporting 15cm. It's not top level Shiga Kogen-quality snow, due to the milder temperatures we have been having. Still, it's also not bad and of course all snow is fun. There are a fair few people arriving this morning to come and enjoy it.


Look to around Tuesday/Wednesday for a drop in temperatures and some better snow quality. If forecasts are right we should get a fair amount early next week.


For the moment, the relatively mild is continuing with clear skies and sun still expected during the day tomorrow. In fact, there'd a bit of sun out already in places.
