Independent snow and weather reporting from the Shiga Kogen region of Nagano
New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 861cm
Posted on Tuesday 15th April 2025 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
There has been a dusting on places where it first accumulates, and I feel I can just about report 1cm. (It has since gone from roads outside my place).
I am hearing that there has been even more of snow up in higher elevations. A friend just showed me a photo and it looks like there may even be multiple cm of snow up at Shibutoge.
Earlier cloud has been clearing and there's now some blue sky to see too.
It is keeping pretty cold.
Sun probably tomorrow and Thursday.
Warmer conditions are coming Thursday onwards.
