Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


The sun is out early this morning and it is going to be a fine day with remaining clouds quickly clearing up. Looks that way anyway. Remember the sunscreen and eye protection, I think it is going to be bright.


Oh yes, we have had a dusting of snow overnight and things look nice and frosted early on.


Lots of cars coming up. Ah yes, it's the weekend! Sometimes I lose track of what day it is.


Today is the last planned nighta in a few areas.
