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


New snowfall at base 11cm
Snowfall at base this season 48cm

Posted on Thursday 8th December 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It's a good morning from Shiga Kogen and after the sun of yesterday we are back to snow falling this morning.


I measure 11cm of snow outside my place - and counting, as it is still snowing and actually snowing quite heavily just at the moment.


Things may ease off later on and sun is forecast tomorrow morning but it should be snowing again by the end of Friday and over the weekend.


(Especially if this continues a bit longer), I would expect more lifts and courses to be open soon.


Exciting!
