Good morning.
Shiga Kogen is a wide area, of course, so you can get quite different weather happening at the same time in different areas. A good example, early this morning it's snowing over at Okushiga Kogen and a lot of cloud around. In other areas, it's blue skies and sunshine. It feels like the clearer weather will win out for today, though. It's a cold start to the day everywhere and there just a light north westerly wind.
Tomorrow the forecast is for cloud, then back to sun on Monday. Hopefully a calm week that will let people enjoy the great snow we have this time round.
All of the areas will be opening as planned this morning.
