Posted on Thursday 30th December 2021 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Yesterday the sun was out and it felt somewhat unseasonably warm. Kind of felt strange after the cold and snow before (and the upcoming further heavy snow). This morning some snow of the wetter variety is falling but it will be getting colder as this new snow storm moves in. Get strapped in!
