Kunamoyu and Yakebitaiyama are both reporting 30cm of new snowfall this morning, but I think they are being modest. Numbers aside, after a relatively mild day yesterday it's a cold morning today and the quality of the snow is excellent. There's a wind so the snow is really getting blown around (further making measurement troublesome as it's varying in different places). Some ski lifts might be delayed this morning due to the current weather conditions. Tomorrow we'll enjoy a break from the snow storms and perhaps some post storm sunshine.

The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here . Phew, I am able to get to the computer at last. It has been pretty crazy since yesterday. It's cold, it's snowy, it's windy and visibility is very limited. Kumanoyu are this morning reporting 100cm of fresh snowfall over 24 hours. (100cm!!) Yakebitaiyama are reporting 50-70cm overnight. This is the biggest snow haul of the season so far, and it's still coming down. The wind has been blowing it all about and so it's one of those days when it's difficult to put a number on it. I usually look at three spots and I think 70cm is probably representative, but like Kumanoyu are reporting there's more than that in places. The weather should be much calmer tomorrow and we might get some sunshine. Weather might be calmer, but snow conditions are going to be wild.
