Hello from Shiga Kogen.
And I am happy to report that after that unwelcome spring storm, we're back to winter this morning.
It is colder and light snow is falling right now. Just a bit of fresh snow overnight, not enough for a full reset, but certainly better than yesterday. And while it is snowing lightly here in Maruike right now as I write this, visibility is good and I can actually see some blue sky over towards Ichinose and the sun is coming out in places so it feels like things are going to clear up.
The forecast currently seems to show some more snow on and off over the next few days, mixed in with some sun at times.
