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


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 418cm

Posted on Tuesday 16th February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It's another calm-after-the-storm kind of morning.


Snow storm conditions yesterday with snow falling and strong winds blowing it around and so a number this morning is difficult to pin down but generally not as much as I was expecting there to be anyway... still, conditions should be better this morning.


It got really cold overnight and it's a cold morning too.


But there's blue skies above and the sun is shining.


There's more snow due later on today so expect things to cloud over sometime either this afternoon and this evening and snow to start falling; and perhaps a decent amount of snow to fall tomorrow.


If we get snow tomorrow Thursday should be great with clear skies and sun currently forecast.
