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


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 537cm

Posted on Thursday 20th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


This makes for a change! It's sunny over Shiga Kogen... and blue skies! A somewhat overcast blue sky in places but definitely a change from the snowfall and stormy conditions that we have been having since last weekend.


I'm sure more than a few people were racing out to first lifts this morning when they looked out the window.


So great snow, great weather. Will be a very good day, I think.


We might see some light snow tomorrow but apart from that there's quite a lot of clearer conditions to enjoy into next week.
