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


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 915cm

Posted on Wednesday 15th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Light snow was falling earlier on and just a few cm of fresh on the ground for my report today.


Right now though it has stopped and it is generally cloudy but I can even see a bit of blue sky over towards Ichinose. Might it clear up for the day...?


It is cold still this morning but warmer temperatures ahoy on Thursday, hopefully a blip with things getting more suitably cold from Friday.


More snowfall is still due on the forecast from late Friday and over the weekend too so it should be back to normal.
