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


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 242cm

Posted on Saturday 31st December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Just a bit more snow since the report yesterday to top things up.


This morning it is a mix of white and grey clouds and blue sky - and right now the sun is shining.


Another cold start but conditions in the day time are expected to be a bit milder over this weekend and perhaps early week but the snow should be back by Tuesday.


In the meantime, conditions are very nice this morning.


Have a great last day of the year and see you in January. All the best.
