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


New snowfall at base 4cm
Snowfall at base this season 37cm

Posted on Thursday 15th December 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Yesterday was a wild at times. Very cold night too. This morning it is calm.


For the moment we have blue sky and some cloud, though more snow is due later on today. Possible heavy snow at the weekend (Sunday) if forecasts are to be believed. They were a bit off for nearby regions yesterday...


No confirmed news just at the moment but I would expect that more areas will be opening up at the weekend. Will try and find out in time for the report tomorrow.
