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

Posted on Tuesday 14th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Light to moderate snow is falling this morning here in Shiga Kogen. More in places than others and we're not expecting anything major today, but it just seems to enjoy snowing over Shiga Kogen this season. And we like it too!


For those of you fed up with the snowfall: first of all, don't be silly (!); and then secondly you might want to be here tomorrow and Thursday as it looks like we can expect clearer and sunny skies. Bit warmer too, though we should be returning to colder temperatures by Saturday and snow currently forecast for over the weekend.
