Good afternoon.


Well, after the stormy conditions of yesterday, we are being treated to a day of calm, fine weather.


Catching up on the snowfall since yesterday morning, Yakebitaiyama and Okushiga Kogen were both reporting 20cm early morning, and Kumanoyu was reporting 10cm. It eased off last night to leave us with the lovely morning we have enjoyed.


There might be some light snow tomorrow. Lower down in the valleys they might get rain, but we should be able to avoid that up here in Shiga Kogen. It shouldn't be heavy though, and it won't be as cold as it was yesterday. The next decent snowfall amounts are forecast for Saturday night.
