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


New snowfall at base 14cm
Snowfall at base this season 515cm

Posted on Friday 1st March 2024 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


March is starting snowy with another 10-15cm or so (and that being reported by Yakebitaiyama and Kumanoyu early this morning).


My measuring point was 14cm and there is more in places where the wind has been blowing it around.


And there's more due tonight into tomorrow.


It isn't very cold this morning (relatively of course) and as such this delivery of snow is a little heavy. We'll take it (...and tomorrow will be colder).
