Posted on Friday 24th March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Morning from Shiga Kogen.


I was just reading some of the other reports before posting this and I agree - it doesn't feel like late March.


There's some pretty heavy snow falling here right now and a wind blowing it around as well, and it's very cold too. Feels like mid winter!


We might get to see some sunshine tomorrow but the snow clouds aren't due to be giving up just yet - more decent snowfall forecast as we go into Monday.


Should be a great weekend.
