Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
There were reports of some wild weather going on yesterday but we actually got a few spells of clearer skies up here.
Back to snow again last night though and the two resorts that report, Yakebitaiyama and Kumanoyu are reporting 10cm and 20cm respectively this morning. I have measured 16cm on the ground as of 9am and it is snowing now... in places, the kind of snow that builds up quickly. I have just come back from Okushiga Kogen where it was really coming down; less so here in the Hasuike area.
We are due snow through tomorrow with clearer skies forecast by the weekend.
