Lots of cloud. Some sun. Bit of fresh snow on the ground since report yesterday.

Very limited visibility this morning and snow is falling.

No cm of snow overnight and just a bit since my report yesterday and it's a cloudy start to the day.

Snow has been falling (and still is) but right now and there's actually quite a bit of blue sky appearing over Maruike.

6cm of snow to add this morning but it's just cloudy at the moment.

The long weekend was... busy! Lots of people around, as you might expect.

Brrrr, it's very cold again this morning. Right down there.

Yes!! A good new layer of fresh snow to report to you this morning. I like these mornings.

It feels more like winter this morning, I am happy to be able to report.

Cloudy at the beginning of the day but it has been improving and like neighbouring regions we are seeing increasing clearer skies and sunshine - perhaps we'll more of it as the day goes on.

Blowing winds and snow on this very cold morning.

The sun is out and it's a beauty of a morning. Good and cold too. Quite the contract to yesterday morning.

After that break in the clouds and calmer conditions yesterday, we're back to stormy conditions here in Shiga Kogen this morning.

After the storm, the calm (well, sort of). A bit of a southerly wind around, and relatively milder temps - though still in the negative - and some sun breaking through the clouds this morning.
