Posted on Monday 16th January 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Just, like,.... wow.
It just keeps on dumping down huge amounts of snow! I am measuring over 60cm, I am hearing more from other people - wind is probably a factor making it difficult to put a number on it. They'll all big numbers though.
And while I keep on posting these big numbers, we can probably expect another big number tomorrow morning too with snow storm conditions continuing into tomorrow.
It's really very exciting, if not a little overwhelming. In a good way.
Another day when lots of people may decided to just take an onsen rather than brave the conditions. It's a bit wild out there (though perhaps not quite as much as yesterday).
Massive.
