Morning from Shiga Kogen.
A modest amount of snow to report this morning, though it's not enough to recover the almost spring-like conditions that the weekend served us.
Yakebitaiyama was earlier on reporting 3cm.
Wind has been a factor so it has been blowing about.
Thankfully, forecasts are indicating that Friday might be a day to celebrate snow and cold conditions.
Clearer skies currently forecast for tomorrow.
