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


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 402cm

Posted on Tuesday 27th January 2015 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Up to 10cm of wet snowfall in some areas of Shiga Kogen overnight (Kumanoyu report 10cm), but it's a warm morning - well, warm for us, with the thermometer showing the temp to be around 2 degrees now.


Still, it is snowing here in the Maruike area. Not the fluffiest of powder, but snow all the same and with the temps set to drop during the day we're hoping for some nicer snow to report tomorrow... should be continuing snowing through tomorrow too with another wave following up as we get into the weekend.
