Hello and good morning from a very windy and blizzard like Shiga Kogen.
It's some contrast to the lovely weather we enjoyed yesterday.
Actually it seems to have calmed down somewhat since earlier on when there was snow blowing around and trees moving in the wind. It is one of those days when it is difficult to give a definitive number on fresh snowfall, but I think 25cm is fair for my report this morning.
Visibility is generally limited still and so probably not very nice conditions for many to be outside just now. Some lifts affected as well by the windy conditions but generally most areas appear to be opening.
There might be a let up tomorrow but Saturday looks like we're going to be slammed by a lot more snow.
