Morning from Shiga Kogen.


27cm of fresh snow - excellent quality too, I might add. It hasn't been too windy which is definitely a plus. It's very cold.


I am writing this from Okushiga Kogen where it's really pounding down at the moment. Lifts are moving but you can hardly see them with very limited visibility. Things are less severe in other parts of Shiga Kogen by the looks of webcams, but generally snow is forecast at least into tomorrow.
