Posted on Sunday 3rd March 2013 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
The snow started up again, as did the winds, and this morning I have about 20-25cm of fresh snow to report from Shiga Kogen. It was a cold start to the morning. The snow fall has cleared up and in the last hour or so the sun has been making some appearances. Still lots of cloud around but perhaps it's going to clear up.
What does look very likely is a clear day tomorrow and more of the same through the coming week. Might stay colder for a few more days but in the 2nd half of the week we can expect some very spring like warmth.
Nighta operations planned for tonight at the following resort areas:
