Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
It might be raining down in the valley - and it might have been raining up here too last night - but it is actually snowing here as of 9am. There's now nearly 2cm on my car. The snow is a bit wet, but it's snow all the same. And Kumanoyu are reporting 5cm of snowfall this morning. I am also hearing that there might be a fair bit more than that up at the higher Yokoteyama and Shibutoge. This is totally hearsay but even more than 20cm?!? I'll try and investigate and report on that tomorrow.
I wonder if we might get some more cm during the day today? Would be good!
Tomorrow will very probably be clearer and a bit warmer.
