Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


It's snowing like it means it right now! Here in the central area of Shiga Kogen anyway.


Visibility is limited at best, and very poor in some places. Very cold too, so a mid-winter feel to the morning.


More snow today and tomorrow should help more ski areas open in the coming days.
