It's another calm-after-the-storm kind of morning.

It's the calm after the storm this morning here in Shiga Kogen.

It's difficult to put a number on things this morning but my best attempt measuring in a few places is.... 45cm of fresh snowfall.

Fine weather since yesterday afternoon here in Shiga Kogen and this morning starts with clear skies and sunshine.

Good morning from Shiga Kogen and I'm happy to report just over 8cm of snow round the back of my place.

After the relatively fine weather over the last few days, light snow has started to fall here this morning.

This morning as I write this it's an interesting mix of light snowfall and sunshine.

Very early this morning it was clearer skies but right now snow is falling and there's just about 1cm on the ground so far.

Light snow falling this morning here in Shiga Kogen. Again, it's wetter snow than we might hope for at the beginning of February, but we'll take it.

Yesterday was a relatively 'warm' one (for Shiga Kogen) with lots of fog around at times.

Just to keep the 'odd season' theme going, yesterday we got some... rain/sleet... falling here in Shiga Kogen. Oh dear.

Yesterday was a very fine day with blue skies to enjoy and nice cold conditions.

Lots more fresh snowfall this morning to report to you... good quality stuff too.

Heavy snow!
