Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
Yesterday was, in the end, not great. Poor weather, wind, and lifts affected.
Thankfully this morning is somewhat improved (re: wind) and we have some light snow still falling.
Early morning Yakebitaiyama was reporting 3cm. There will have been more than that since then, and I should bring you news of more tomorrow.
I can report 5cm but it will be varied depending on where you are.
Interesting how it looks like areas to the south-east got more, particularly over on the other side of the mountains in Kusatsu.
Maybe some more snow over the weekend, too, but looks like there's a chance of clearer skies again before then.
