Morning from Shiga Kogen.
I was hoping we would avoid rain up here in Shiga Kogen, but unfortunately that isn't wasn't case. It was raining overnight.
And it was raining when I got up but the good news is that it has turned into snow. Yes, it is snowing now. Phew. Definitely very mild though (* for mid-winter Shiga Kogen, of course).
There is a dusting of snow on the top of my car, just about enough for me to record 1cm in this report; let's hope that is starts building up again.
The forecast is positive for snow today and maybe heavier snow tomorrow. Look out for possibly strong winds though.
