Posted on Tuesday 17th February 2026 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
We have had a little snow overnight but the sun is out now and it's a lovely morning. Quite cold again.
There is some fresh snow expected tomorrow later on - tomorrow night? - but beyond that we will likely return to more sun and clearer skies.
Sunday looking a bit warm once again.
I'm looking forward to (hopefully) being able to talk about another period of snow sometime soon. For now, let's hope tomorrow night gives us a nice refresh.
