Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
Great news!
Yes, 12cm of fresh snow on the ground and the official report is saying 15cm. Both sound good to me.
When we get to this stage of the season, the middle of March, you always start to wonder if this snow will be the last snow of the season. I was actually a bit surprised to see that we got 90cm during March last year (50cm this year so far) and some snowfall in April too - last season the last snow I reported was on 12th April, so there you go. I certainly hope so. Here's to more snowfall!
