Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


As per forecast, after the clouds clearing during the day yesterday we were treated to a beautiful evening moon - and sunshine and blue skies this morning. Everywhere is looking really beautiful. As much as I love it when the snow comes down big style, blue skies and sunshine in between the snow are a really special time.


Enjoy it while you can because there's more snow due from tonight and then again over the weekend.
