Good morning from Shiga Kogen.


It is a very cold morning and the sun has been out. Quite how long that might last is unclear as we are forecast more snow this weekend. So things might change quick.

Let's see if we get more before tomorrow. And how many people turn up for this long weekend. Monday is a national holiday so it is usually a very busy one, but this year we have that little matter of the state of emergency situation in Tokyo and surrounding areas...
