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


New snowfall at base 2cm
Snowfall at base this season 321cm

Posted on Wednesday 3rd February 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


This morning as I write this it's an interesting mix of light snowfall and sunshine.


Just a slight dusting of snow overnight and I doubt we will see much added to that today. Looks like there's lots of clear skies in surrounding areas this morning, perhaps we will also see further clearing of clouds as the day goes on.


Decent snowfall is still on the forecast for Saturday with snow expected Friday and Sunday as well, so hopefully we'll get a lot of fresh for/over the weekend.
