Posted on Sunday 8th January 2023 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.


Fine weather yesterday. It's back to snow on this Sunday morning and limited visibility out there. In fact, here in Hasuike, it is very poor. Kind of foggy as well as the snow.


Kumanoyu haven't reported anything yet but Yakebitaiyama are reporting 10cm of fresh snow since last night.


It is due to ease off during the day today and we'll probably get sun again tomorrow morning... then more snow tomorrow night. Oh yes, and then some warmer conditions late week.


All a bit changeable at the moment.


Anyway, fresh snow sounds good so I have to go and check!
