Good morning from Shiga Kogen.
And I have more fresh snow to report, just over 15cm at my measuring point though I see official sources are saying up to 25cm this morning.
It's great to see more fresh on the ground though it doesn't look like it is the lightest and fluffiest, due to the fact that it is relatively mild (though remaining under zero). Anyway, I must get outside and strap my skis on to go check...
By the looks of the forecast we are in for a lot more in the coming week and with colder temperatures too quality should be up there. Maybe some more today but in particular from later on tomorrow - it might get pretty hairy out there at times into the weekend.
Bring it all on, I say, as much as possible.
