Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


I'm feeling a bit better this morning.


And it is good to see some snow falling outside my window, though I'm keeping wrapped up and inside myself over the weekend. I can see 1cm of snow on the top of my car outside so it looks like it could be quickly building up. (All this considering that it was actually much clearer very early on this morning).


The forecasts seem to be pointing to snowy (maybe windy) conditions into tomorrow.
