Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


OK so we got a lot of snow overnight!


This morning Kumanoyu are reporting 50cm of fresh snowfall. Yakebitaiyama are reporting 40cm.


I have measured 44cm. Wind has been a factor, though not as much as we thought it might be. It's cold and snowy and we can probably expect more of that through today and tomorrow.
