Posted on Friday 20th February 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Lots of snow this morning.


Started last night and a good 30cm and I am hearing maybe up to 50cm in places! That sure is a lot and I can't remember thinking yesterday that we were on for such a dump! But hey, it's the better kind of news so I'll take it.


Not due to last the day today and perhaps the sun and clearer skies tomorrow along with milder conditions. We might get to escape the rain that many regions are going to get on Sunday with it straight to snow hopefully.


Colder climes again in the first part of next week.
