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


New snowfall at base 15cm
Snowfall at base this season 298cm

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


The snow continues though the numbers aren't so big really. Add another 15cm or so since yesterday.


This morning it's really snowing hard again and generally poor visibility with some gusts of wind as well making it for not the kindest of conditions out on the slopes.


This snowfall will probably not continue for the whole day though as we have clear conditions forecast for tonight and tomorrow too. A few days of milder conditions is on the cards.
