Morning from Shiga Kogen.


It's snowing. Not the lightest fluffiest, but it sure as heck beats the rain that lower regions are suffering right now.


It is forecast to get windy, stormy and hopefully very snowy from around lunchtime.


I am going to be looking out my window willing it to all happen.
