Posted on Tuesday 15th December 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning!


Lots of snow in the region but actually less so up here in Shiga Kogen. Sometimes that happens.


Kumanoyu are reporting a modest 5cm of fresh snow... Yakebitaiyama are reporting 20cm, perhaps from the top of the mountain.


It's a cold morning though and we have lots of snow still there on the forecast in the coming days.


There is a bit of sunshine peeping through the clouds at the moment. It is probably just temporary as more clouds roll in...
