Hello from Shiga Kogen.


Well, I wasn't really expecting this (though maybe that is because my mind is on some other things right now).


But we have 12cm of fresh snowfall that I have measured on the ground this morning.


Yakebitaiyama are reporting 10-15cm; Kumanoyu are reporting 20cm.


Clearer conditions likely later on with sunshine and spring like warmth tomorrow.
