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

Snowfall at base this season 421cm

Posted on Wednesday 20th January 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


After the wilder conditions yesterday and overnight, with the wind blowing snow around, is turning out to be a much calmer morning.


The sun is out!


As I write this there is sunshine here in the Maruike/Hasuike area, but it is snowing over in Okushiga Kogen.


I imagine that snow will ease off leaving us with a day of fine weather across the Shiga Kogen region. We are forecast fine weather conditions again tomorrow too.


Very fine conditions.
