Posted on Friday 21st January 2022 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
Heavy snow is coming down right now. Windy. A bit wild again. Cold. Snowdrifts, so varying amounts in different places. Kumanoyu reporting 60cm. Some lifts surely affected this morning.
Must go out to deal with it all.
I'll have more words tomorrow when it's supposed to be calmer and brighter.
Conditions for the weekend should be great.
