Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
And now after that surprising blast of winter (and some additional cm since my report yesterday), we are going to be back to spring.
Sunshine and warming up is on the cards for the next few days.
The section of Route 292 connecting the Yokoteyama area of Shiga Kogen with Gunma Prefecture plans to re-open from 10am on Friday 19th April. They are busy working on cutting out the road from the snow now. Always fun to see those snow walls. I wonder how big they will be this season.
