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


New snowfall at base 10cm
Snowfall at base this season 379cm

Posted on Friday 7th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Interesting weather this morning. After some new snow overnight, it's mixed at the moment. The sun is out here in Maruike, but it is snowing lightly (soon to stop I expect). There's lots of cloud around. My guess is that it is going to continue to clear up leaving us with more sun than snow for today.


Tonight the snow clouds are forecast to move back over the region and it should be snowing for the day tomorrow perhaps into Sunday.
