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

Snowfall at base this season 236cm

Posted on Tuesday 23rd December 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Quite a strong northerly wind in areas this morning blowing around the snow that is continuing to fall. It's a bit calmer down here in the Maruike part of Shiga Kogen but still snow falling.


Very cold too.


Seems quite busy today, and I just remembered a good reason why... it's a national holiday today.


The Shibutoge area of Shiga Kogen - the far southern area, connected with Yokoteyama and run by the same folk - is now open.


Clearer skies are forecast for tomorrow with a good chance of snow falling on Christmas Day.
