Posted on Monday 31st January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Hello from Shiga Kogen.


Another 10cm or so in places since the report yesterday morning, though it is (as so often is the case) going to vary where you are. This morning visibility is still kind of limited over at Okushiga Kogen where it is still snowing. Here in Hasuike there is some very light snow falling at the moment. In some places there is a break in the clouds and some blue sky. So another varied mix of weather this morning. But cold throughout the area.


There's more snow on the forecast regularly across the coming week so hopefully good winter conditions will continue. As they should, of course, it's not February yet!
