A bit of fresh snow to report to you this morning. It's heavy and wet, rather than light and dry, but it sure is better than the rain that many regions had to endure yesterday and overnight. We should be thankful.
Interestingly, Kumanoyu are reporting 0cm of fresh.... Shiga Kogen is a wide area so there are always variations of course, though I'm surprised there was none. The Hasuike Junction near me here has a cover...
The rain that came before the snow will have wiped out some cm, but we have that small fresh delivery.
It is getting colder too which is good to be able to report after the warm day yesterday. Earlier clouds have been clearing and there is some sun breaking through in places.
