Hello from Shiga Kogen.
Snow, snow, snow!
Kunamoyu and Yakebitaiyama are both reporting 30cm of new snowfall this morning, but I think they are being modest. Numbers aside, after a relatively mild day yesterday it's a cold morning today and the quality of the snow is excellent. There's a wind so the snow is really getting blown around (further making measurement troublesome as it's varying in different places). Some ski lifts might be delayed this morning due to the current weather conditions.
Tomorrow we'll enjoy a break from the snow storms and perhaps some post storm sunshine. And then some more snow on Thursday.
