Hello from Shiga Kogen.


Great to have that snowfall yesterday.


By afternoon, the snow had eased off and there was even some blue sky and sun. People visiting for the long weekend could enjoy some very nice conditions before heading back to normal life.


No more fresh snow overnight and clearer skies due today. It should be a very good day.


(Too early today for some of the numbers below to be, potentially, updated).
