Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
We had some snow falling until early this morning and there is another nice new layer around areas with ski areas reporting from 2cm to 10cm.
Thankfully the strong winds of yesterday are behind us and things are much calmer.
We're still due more snow over the coming few days. Quite a lot, too, if we are to believe forecasts. I wonder...
