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

Snowfall at base this season 846cm

Posted on Tuesday 6th March 2018 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


When I got up earlier this morning it was snowing but right now there's some sun shining through the remaining clouds over in Kumanoyu.


But I just came back from there to here in Hasuike which is enveloped in thick fog just now. So variable conditions at the moment depending where you are in the Shiga Kogen area.


Whatever, much nicer than the miserable wet of yesterday, for sure.


This early spring is serving up some rather unpredictable conditions. I'm no forecaster, I'll just let you check out the forecast yourself and we can all guess together! (See blue button above).
