Posted on Friday 7th January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Yesterday we had a break and some nice weather actually but this morning we're back to pretty wild conditions again.
Moderate to heavy snow, poor visibility and a bit of wind too.
Kumanoyu reporting 15cm and Yakebitaiyama are reporting 20cm of fresh snowfall. That's all since very early morning. The way it's falling there's definitely going to be more to report tomorrow. (As well as a likely sunny start to the weekend).
Like I said a bit wild so there might be some ski lifts on hold and special care definitely needed this morning. Things should be calmer by later this afternoon.
