Posted on Friday 3rd March 2017 This is an archived report. The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here.
It's back to snow this morning in Shiga Kogen, along with something of a blowy wind making visibility really poor just now here in the Maruike area. Bit of a blizzard-like feel at the moment.
Did I mention the 16cm of fresh snow on the ground? With this wind, a bit more and a bit less in places no doubt.
The snow is forecast to ease off by early afternoon and tomorrow we are fully expecting clear and sunny skies.
Should be a good weekend. Perhaps less busy than February weekends as some folk apparently seem to decide that the ski season has finished for them come March. Silly them!
