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

Posted on Wednesday 19th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Yes, it is snowing still.


Again as I write my report it's coming down quite impressively here in the Maruike part of Shiga Kogen. Not a huge amount since yesterday, perhaps 10cm or so, and while the forecasts told us to expect the snow clouds to have stopped doing their thing this morning, it doesn't look like quitting just yet. Not as windy as it has been at the moment though.


We are expecting clearer weather soon though.
