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


New snowfall at base 3cm
Snowfall at base this season 174cm

Posted on Monday 6th January 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Just light snow falling this morning here in the Maruike area, but I was just over at Ichinose where snow was coming down heavier. Thick cloud in places meaning that visibility is quite poor in places.


Snow probably won't last until the end of the day though and tomorrow will probably be clear and not quite as cold. Then back to snow later Wednesday into Thursday.


Less people out and about this morning as expected.... cue the school trips!
