It's snowing. And I can hardly see a thing! Yes, some blizzard like conditions early this morning in Shiga Kogen with poor visibility, a cold wind and snow falling at a decent rate. Resorts are reporting various amounts this morning - 5cm from Kumanoyu, 20cm overnight at Yakebitaiyama and 5-10cm at Okushiga Kogen. I myself am measuring 16cm.
Some may call it "bad weather".
Some may call it "great weather" (fresh snow!).
I think that we might all be agreed that the sun that is forecast for tomorrow should make tomorrow a great day. Perhaps some folk who were planning on leaving us today might be considering staying an extra day to enjoy it?
