Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


And it's a really very good morning. Where did this come from?! Varying reports from around the area this morning... the official site is saying 50cm of fresh, Kumanoyu are reporting 30-50cm, my friends are reporting 32cm and 45cm. And I am measuring just slightly over 40cm. So hopefully you can get a good idea of what to expect this morning... lots of fresh snow to play in!


What's more, the sun is out at the moment! Folk who are sticking around for this morning are in for a treat. But don't worry, snow is due later on today again so there should be fresh to enjoy tomorrow too.


Excellent.
