A very good morning to you and it sure is!


There's another 35+cm of fresh snowfall here in Shiga Kogen. Great stuff.


And it is still snowing, though likely to ease off this morning.


But don't worry, more snow is on the forecast from later on in the day tomorrow and that should continue into Thursday and possibly Friday too.


All good!
