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


New snowfall at base 1cm
Snowfall at base this season 319cm

Posted on Tuesday 2nd February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Very early this morning it was clearer skies but right now snow is falling and there's just about 1cm on the ground so far. It's actually coming down quite heavily just right now but that is not expected to last with clearer weather on the forecast. It is keeping very cold though which is of course what we want.


The forecasts have been wrong a fair bit this season though, so you never know what will happen these days - or so it seems.


Talking of which they tell us to look forward to some heavy snow later in the day on Friday and into Saturday. Perfect for the weekend, so lets just hope that is happens.
