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


New snowfall at base 8cm
Snowfall at base this season 700cm

Posted on Friday 28th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Snowing very nicely at the moment, though because of it visibility is limited. It feels colder this morning to me.


If forecasts get it right, the start of the weekend should be much clearer, though more snow is due later on in the day perhaps beyond the lifts closing.


In the meantime, more snow today please! A good layer for the weekend would be most welcome.
