Hello from Shiga Kogen.
It is actually snowing this morning. The road outside here in Hasuike is damp rather than covered with snow but there has been a slight layer.
Forecasts seem to show some sun later on, so this is not expected to last long into today.
And then we have a mix of rain (perhaps snow) at times across the next few days.
No major spring warm up yet!
