Back to snow, sort of! There is just about enough snow for me to give the report 1cm this morning.

There's lots of people coming up for the weekend this morning with a steady stream of cars going past at the moment.

A few cm of fresh snow on the ground this morning and some pretty impressively large flakes are coming down outside.

12cm of fresh snow on the ground and the official report is saying 15cm.

We are engulfed in some rather foggy conditions early on with snow falling as well - just about 2cm on the top of my car at the moment.

Really cold overnight last night and a cold start to the day.

Very light snow currently falling here in the Maruike area of Shiga Kogen though visibility is pretty decent.

Another kind of mixed bag this morning with light snow currently falling but quite bright skies and a few clearings in places.

Just a few cm of snow this morning. There's a lot of cloud around.

It's back to snow this morning in Shiga Kogen, along with something of a blowy wind making visibility really poor just now here in the Maruike area.

We did in the end get a bit of fresh snow yesterday but this morning we are back to blue skies and sunshine with a bit of cloud.

I am happy to report that after that unwelcome spring storm, we're back to winter this morning.

I don't think many words are necessary this morning.

The official Shiga Kogen website is reporting 55cm. I am measuring (on average) about 50cm.
