The latest Shiga Kogen Now report can be found here . Hello from Shiga Kogen. It's still snowing. And we've had loads since my report yesterday as well. 43cm is my measurement. :) Lovely light snow too. So it is still snowing now and still snowing quite heavily for the moment. Probably going to ease off later today and tomorrow, when we might even get to see some clearer skies. And it does look like the coming week may bring us more of those clearer skies than the snowy conditions. But with all the quality snow we have right now, that is not a problem. In fact, I think lots of us are looking forward to it.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . We got a pretty good dumping from yesterday through the night and into the morning. The prediction was for 60; I think we got close to that, but not quite. But there still is a lot of great new snow out there, and it is still falling, although very lightly at the moment. It was pretty wild at the end of the day, with some screaming wind coming down off the mountain at the very end of the day, then some lightning late in the evening. Can't tell what it's doing at the moment; I think we might be seeing a little rest before the snow picks up again. Snow is on the forecast for the next few days; the Niigata prefecture site says 10cm during the day today. Maybe people were busy this morning; there are a few resorts that have not yet updated their daily reports.

The latest Myoko Now report can be found here . We got snow throughout the day yesterday: it can be hard to find a really good total figure when wind is blowing, and some things get cleared and some don't - and you end up spending six hours doing shoveling around several locations.

Looks like snow throughout the day; the Niigata prefectural website gives a very good prediction on its site and says 20cm. Other TV weather reports were mentioning the possibility of high winds in the region, although things are peaceful at the moment. Even had a moment of sun there earlier, although it's turning pretty gray out there now.
