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

Snowfall at base this season 28cm

Posted on Sunday 8th December 2019 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Hello from Shiga Kogen.


A light dusting of snow overnight, well maybe a bit more than a dusting.. just 1-2 cm on the ground in places, I am seeing slightly over 1cm around my place.


It is looking moodily cloudy this morning with gas/fog hanging around adding to the atmosphere.


Tomorrow things should be much clearer as sunshine is forecast and as I think I mentioned before we are expecting some milder conditions too. Not too mild please.


It's going to be at least towards the later part of the coming week before we get more snow.
