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


New snowfall at base 12cm
Snowfall at base this season 449cm

Posted on Thursday 16th February 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


In the middle of the night Yakebitaiyama were reporting 10cm of fresh snowfall, and as of 7am Kumanoyu are reporting another 5cm. It's really nice light snow too and going to be fun out there today.


It is still snowing - quite heavily right now - but that is not forecast to continue for long. If we are lucky we might get some sun later on (even if that feels unlikely just at the moment). Sun is expected from the start of tomorrow.


Should be very fine conditions at the moment. Just to be sure, I'm going to get out there and check. Just have to decide where to go.
