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


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 173cm

Posted on Wednesday 30th December 2020 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Well, there's a lot of rain in the region this morning but it has quickly become snow here and right now it is snowing. It's been wet snow but as it sets in and gets colder, that should improve and over the next few days we should be getting a lot of more Shiga Kogen-like snow. Limited visibility in most areas right now and that is probably going to continue.


I'll have snow to report tomorrow, you can be sure.
