Excellent news this morning.
It's a cold, wintery, snowy and windy morning in Shiga Kogen with limited visibility.
But the best part, of course, is all the fresh snow. The wind is distributing it unevenly, but here is what is being reported by ski areas:
Kumanoyu (7am): 30cm
Okushiga Kogen: 30-40cm
Yakebitaiyama (middle of the night): 25cm
My (as not drift-affected-as-possible) measurement is 33cm. There is going to be more than that in places.
Wind is affecting some lifts this morning. But once things calm down, conditions should be... almost like new! We might even get a bit of sun sometime tomorrow/Thursday, and then more snow Friday. Sounds like mid-winter, doesn't it?
