Heavy snow this morning in Shiga Kogen.

Snow and limited visibility this morning out on the slopes.

It is snowing this morning in Shiga Kogen - coming down pretty hard at the moment actually - and hopefully this is the first of a few days of snowfall.

More snow yesterday and earlier this morning too but for now lots of the clouds have moved on and we have nice blue skies over us and the sun shining down.

It is still snowing this morning... not as heavy as it was when I posted the report yesterday. Visibility is better.

It started snowing early morning (so I heard - late night!), but now as I look out of the window I see heavy snow falling.

Interesting weather this morning. After some new snow overnight, it's mixed at the moment.

So we had those wild conditions yesterday, but things have calmed down this morning.

It's full on winter here this morning.

Ahh, winter! Welcome back. You had us a bit worried there.

Clear and sunny this morning but getting more overcast with it mid morning.

Snow, wind, fog and poor visibility this morning in Shiga Kogen.

Just a thin dusting of snow overnight and this morning lovely blue skies over Shiga Kogen.

Blue skies over Shiga Kogen this morning, with the clouds maybe clearing up sooner than we expected them to.
