Morning from Shiga Kogen.
An unexpected bright and even sunny at times early morning and not as much snow to report as was expected. I think we are between snow, as it is due to move in today again and bring us quite a lot by tomorrow.
For the moment the forecast for the coming weekend is clearer skies and calm weather. Would be great if we could have a lot of fresh snow delivered just before then...
