Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
Hey, the sun is out! Blue sky too. Just a few small white clouds remaining. It is a beautiful morning after some early light snow and cloud. There's not a whole lot of new snowfall really, probably more over at the Okushiga Kogen area than most of the other areas of Shiga Kogen since yesterday. In fact, Kumanoyu are reporting 0cm, just a dusting.
The snow is due back from later on today (might be tonight) and tomorrow during the daytime.
