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


New snowfall at base 5cm
Snowfall at base this season 384cm

Posted on Saturday 8th February 2014 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


It started snowing early morning (so I heard - late night!), but now as I look out of the window I see heavy snow falling. It's really coming down. I would guess already about 5-10cm this morning. Suitably snowy and mid-wintery, and we can hope that it continues to snow all of the day today and bring us a nice new fresh layer.


Limited visibility as you might expect due to the snowfall.
