Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


And I am happy to report - fresh snow on the ground! The main Shiga Kogen site is reporting 10cm, though I am measuring 4cm. Perhaps varying amounts around the area.


Good to see a return to colder conditions too. It's cloudy with light snow falling just now but a clearing up is expected.


Maybe some more snow tomorrow night but beyond that the forecast shows a fair bit of sunshine in the first half of the coming week.
