Morning from Shiga Kogen.
Light snowfall early this morning but it already feels like it is clearing. I can see hints of blue sky in places already...
This coming week still promised some good snowfall across the region. It is colder today than it was yesterday, but we can expect the more normal mid-winter temperatures to be back from Tuesday.
