It's snowing. Not the lightest fluffiest, but it sure as heck beats the rain that lower regions are suffering right now.

There is some more fresh snowfall on the ground around the region this morning - down to the valley areas too.

We have 10+cm of fresh snow on the ground, some areas reporting up to 20cm.

Kumanoyu is reporting 3cm of snowfall. I am able to justify adding just about 2cm of observed snowfall, and the wind has been blowing it around too this morning.

Well, it's colder this morning that's for sure, and just 2-3cm of fresh snow fallen overnight.

A light dusting of snow overnight, well maybe a bit more than a dusting.. just 1-2 cm on the ground in places, I am seeing slightly over 1cm around my place.

Some fresh snow since my last report but not a whole lot. I am logging 2cm, Kumanoyu are reporting 5cm.

5cm of snowfall to add this morning at base (here in Ichinose and that is what Kumanoyu are also reporting). It is a cold morning and the snow is nice and light.

A real wintery night and a decent amount of fresh snowfall has covered everywhere.

We have a nice frosted feeling going on this morning.

The snow clouds are back!

A bit more snow since last report but it's still thin on the ground.

Hello and welcome back to the Shiga Kogen Now reports.

After a warm/hot weekend with temperatures reaching around 20C even up here - and 30C+ down in the valleys - today is the last day of the ski season in Shiga Kogen.
