It is good to see snow back with us today. A few cm overnight and a few cm more on cars parked around areas as I was driving around earlier on.

Variable weather here in Shiga Kogen this morning.

The sun has been shining down on us so far today, something of a contrast to yesterday and good timing for the weekend.

According to my eyes, there has been at least 20-30cm of new snow fall since yesterday. Probably more on the mountain.

The snow clouds moved in later on in the day yesterday and this morning we have around 10cm of new snowfall around Shiga Kogen and the snow is falling now still. It is a cold, snowy and quite windy morning and is likely to continue with similar conditions throughout today.

The sun is out this morning as a steady stream of cars comes up from Yamanouchi to us here in Shiga Kogen. So a bright and sunny start to the day.

Not the chart-busting numbers I was hoping for this morning and nothing more than a thin new layer of snow really to report this morning.
