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


New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 283cm

Posted on Wednesday 22nd January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


The snow is coming down very nicely at the moment here, and since last night I have about 15cm to report. If it continues like this, there will be more.


There's a bit of a wind out there at the moment but not affecting lifts at all, but it feels colder than the -6C I am seeing on the thermometer here. Visibility is generally poor as the snow comes down hard.


The forecast doesn't actually tell us to expect much today actually and a clearing is expected at the latest tomorrow, and then sun on Friday along with milder conditions.


Lots of snowfall today please!
