Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
It was a lovely day yesterday with the sun shining and it was good to get some fresh air. Nothing like a few hours on the snow to freshen you up!
By night time we were back to snow falling and this morning I have 12cm of snow to report and it is snowing right now. Good quality light snow too.
We can expect some more cm today and perhaps into tomorrow; currently clearer weather and sun is due around Friday morning.
