Posted on Wednesday 25th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
The snow and very cold conditions continue.
Yes, it is still snowing with another 24cm to report since yesterday and no doubt some more to add to that tomorrow too. It does look like the forecasts are saying clear-up sometime today and a good chance of clearer weather tomorrow too. And it's going to get a bit milder as well - though it has been especially cold the last few days.
So perhaps a calmer and clearer few days ahead of us. Perfect time to enjoy the excellent conditions we are enjoying.
