I enjoyed a great half-day yesterday. The sun was out and there were some fine snow conditions to be found as well.

The forecast said we might have a break in the snowfall this morning before snow coming back tonight.

Last night we had some horrid rain falling for a while but happily this morning we wake to snowfall.

It's blue skies and sunshine this morning after that snowy weekend. Keeping very cold though.

Yesterday was a bit wild at times with the snow coming down and strong winds as well.

More snow in Shiga Kogen this morning and at least 15cm piled up and more coming down nicely now.

The skies cleared up yesterday after the snowy start and this morning we are enjoying fine sunny weather (after a more cloudy start).

It's a good morning from Shiga Kogen and after the sun of yesterday we are back to snow falling this morning.

It is a cold morning in Shiga Kogen and I am happy to be able to report 9cm of fresh snowfall on the ground outside my place this morning.

Snow is falling here in Shiga Kogen this morning.

Yesterday it was snowing pretty good in the morning but it eased off and left us with some really blowing winds for lots of the day.

Morning from Shiga Kogen and while it is still raining down below, it is snowing here.

Today is the first day of the season here in Shiga Kogen.

Rain last night turned into snow, and this morning it has been snowing here.
