Posted on Saturday 16th January 2016 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Mixed weather yesterday with a bit of snow but clearing up in the afternoon.
Light snow is falling here now and just a few cm of fresh on the ground. It is nice and cold this morning again so conditions that we have are keeping... though what I really want to write about is thick new layers of snow. Might I be able to write about that on Monday? I might just! Forecasts are all still pointing towards a proper dump of snow to be delivered hopefully starting late tomorrow and going through into next week. Prolonged moderate to heavy snowfall - that sounds just about perfect.
Before then it might be a mixed bag of cloud, light snow at times and clearer skies. Weather seems very confused, but hopefully will have made up it's mind to be full on winter in just a few days time.
O-tanoshi-mi-ni!
