Good morning from a sunny Shiga Kogen.


Blue sky and white snow contrast. Beautiful.


It is really very cold as well.


Is that decent snowfall forecast for tonight? I think it is. I will let you know how that goes tomorrow morning. After the snow, sunny conditions are expected during the day (tomorrow).


For now though, a lovely morning and I am off outside to go sample it!
