Posted on Thursday 21st March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Fresh snowfall in Shiga Kogen overnight. Not a huge amount but enough to cover the roads - though it's quickly drying up now - so perhaps a few cm or so on the mountains maybe a bit more. But great to see a return to more winter like weather even if for a short time.
It was still snowing an hour or so ago here, but has quickly cleared up this morning and there's an increasing amount of blue sky now - the sun is out. It still feels crisp and chilly though, so hopefully it won't warm up too much today.
Tomorrow is forecast to be sunny and warmer.
Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort area:
