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


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 620cm

Posted on Friday 14th March 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Yesterday, it rained. Not nice and obviously not good for the snow out there on the slopes.


The much better news is that today it is snowing. Not the lightest or driest snow, as temperatures remain relatively mild (though still in the negatives), but it is actually falling quite heavily at the moment and a wind blowing around as well. Here's to a nice new layer to cover up the icy snow underneath.


Clearer skies are forecast for tomorrow.


Look for a warmup as we enter the new week and a sunny start to the week.
