It's snowing again this morning. Not much to report in terms of cm right now.

It's snowing still here. Windy too with the snow being blown about all over the place this morning, so difficult to put a number on it.

Colder this morning across Shiga Kogen and more snowfall to report along with some gusty wind conditions.

The sun was out earlier on this morning but it has started to cloud over and snow looks likely later on and is due for today and tomorrow.

So we got some more snow yesterday. Not huge amounts but gradually it is building up.

Snow is falling this morning and it's all very suitably winter-like.

About 10cm of snow yesterday morning (which I will note in the new snow this morning for the record), but no new snowfall to report this morning.

Now this is a bit more like it. Everything is white again this morning, including the roads, and snow is continuing to fall.

Lovely morning here in Shiga Kogen, though that's not really what I want to be reporting.

Today I do bring good news - the season is underway here in Shiga Kogen.

Welcome back to the Shiga Kogen Now reports.

The 2012/2013 season at Shiga Kogen is now finished, with the last lifts at Yokoteyama being the last yesterday afternoon.

Today is the last day of the busy Golden Week holidays, and it also marks the last day of the season for most of the resorts that remain open in Shiga Kogen.

Ah, Golden Week. Always seems to sign off the season (apart from the Yokoteyama area) and mark the beginning of spring proper in Shiga Kogen.
