Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
Well, it might have been raining in the middle of the night (according to Yakebitaiyama) but it is now snowing.
Kind of wet snow, and just a thin covering in places so far (1-2cm), but hopefully I'll be reporting more cm tomorrow.
There's a southerly wind today and it might get strong at times; perhaps enough to affect some lifts.
Clearer skies due again Thursday and Friday before some more potential snowfall on Saturday.
