Posted on Friday 18th March 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It's a bumpy ride at the moment in terms of weather, temperature, precipitation, how it changes and what is going to happen next... though snow does seem likely tonight (perhaps after starting as rain again) and tomorrow. Hope for that snow to happen!


Just cloudy for now.
