Morning from Shiga Kogen.
It's a cold and snowy and quite windy morning. The wind is affecting some lifts around the region but most ski areas seem to be opening.
Yakebitaiyama very early morning reporting 30cm. That was 6 hours ago. Okushiga Kogen was earlier reporting 40cm.
With the wind blowing the light snow around it is one of those mornings where it is difficult to pin a number, but looking at my measuring points, I think todays report should be 40cm. There is probably more in places.
Tomorrow should be calmer and clearer. We might get some clear skies.
