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


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 560cm

Posted on Friday 12th February 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


Some snow from yesterday to report but it cleared up by later in the day.


A kind of hazy and overcast and bright start to the day today.


The whole region is due for a weekend of fine and sunny conditions - along with unseasonably warm temperatures. (Not too much please!)


But it should be very pleasant and I am sure with the forecast the popular ski areas should be relatively busy.


The great bit is that around Tuesday or Wednesday, fresh snow is forecast to be on the way. (Lots of that please!)
