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

Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


Just a little snow to report this morning with fine light snow falling at the moment. I think I can justify 1cm for the report though this isn't the kind of snow that is going to be building up big time. That can change of course and snow is on the forecasts for today and later tomorrow as well. Beyond that we are expecting sun on Sunday (as you do), with further snow lined up by mid-week.


It's cold this morning. Wrap up and enjoy.
