Posted on Friday 31st January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Snow, wind, fog and poor visibility this morning in Shiga Kogen. A bit of a wild one at times though forecast to calm down later on in the day, and it should be clearer tomorrow. Warmer on Sunday but we are hopeful that we can maybe avoid the rain that lower regions seem destined to get.


After the few days of milder conditions winter should be back come Tuesday.
