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


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 171cm

Posted on Sunday 5th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Snow is falling still here in Shiga Kogen. It's a steady light snowfall, not the stuff that brings us half a meter overnight, but steady all the same. Visibility is pretty decent here in Maruike actually, can see right over to Higashitateyama.


Are we on for a few days of clearer weather from tomorrow? Perhaps. Doesn't look like there'll be much in terms of snow that's for sure. But overnight into Thursday is looking much promising. After the forecast milder conditions Tuesday and Wednesday, it should be getting back to being really cold come Thursday and more snow forecast.
