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


New snowfall at base 8cm
Snowfall at base this season 925cm

Posted on Sunday 19th February 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Another 9cm of snowfall to add to the reports this morning but as the morning progresses the clouds have been breaking up and there is now lots of blue sky above us. Turning into a lovely morning.


Enjoy it while you can because - guess what - snow is due to be falling once again by later on tonight and some decent snowfall through tomorrow.


Actually the forecast through the coming week is looking rather snowy as a whole so the regular top-ups are going to continue.


On that note, I can strap my skis on and enjoy the conditions this morning.
