Posted on Friday 13th March 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
We have had a dusting of snow early morning, just enough for my 1cm in the report today though not as much as that everywhere. Perhaps a bit more than that in top areas.
We are expecting clear(ish) skies over the weekend (and beyond) and calm wind. Sounds like it should be a fine weekend.
Just to let you know that I won't be able to post over the weekend and so the next report will appear on Monday.
