A happy Monday morning to you from Shiga Kogen where there has been a modest 4cm of snowfall overnight.
Light snow has been falling early this morning, though at the moment it is just cloudy and perhaps light snow still falling in some higher areas.
Maybe some more snow today though I doubt it will be anything significant. This year so many places are struggling to clock up what you might term 'heavy snowfall', which is not like Japan. Shiga Kogen is not known for record amounts of snowfall even in a good winter - it's more the quality of snow up here that people love.
Anyway I see the forecast still tells us nice stories of regular snowfall over the coming week. Hopefully not fairy tales!
