The snow continues to fall in Shiga Kogen. At least another 25-30cm or so off the top of the car to move off since yesterday and in places I would say there has been more than that. Although still conservative I would say, the snow depth numbers below are suddenly looking much better, don't you think? Terakoya now officially claiming 190cm of snow and it just goes to show how good the last few days has been to us. The trees are looking nice and loaded and it's a suitably non-bright kind of grey morning as the snow continues to fall.

We're not done yet with this particular batch of snowfall either as it will more than likely be continuing to snow through today and into the weekend. A chance it might just ease off from time to time but snowfall is expected every day right through until this time next week according to the latest local forecast.

Good weekend ahead. Visibility is an issue and with all the new snow extra caution recommended especially if you venture off a course - you might even do that by mistake.

Have a fun and safe weekend.
