Posted on Wednesday 4th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Quite a lot of snow to report this morning. Yakebitaiyama are reporting over 30cm and Okushiga Kogen are reporting 30-40cm. Sounds good. (Nothing from Kumanoyu yet).
It is still snowing and quite heavily in places too. Quite windy too and it feels cold out there.
While all official snow depth numbers often seem low here, a few areas still stuck on 20cm seems... a bit silly. So I'm not posting those. There's more snow around than those numbers show.
If you like seeing the sun, tomorrow might be a good one for you as it looks like the snow clouds should have (at least largely) dispersed.
