Hello from Shiga Kogen.

The sun is out this morning. It's not vivid blue skies though; there's thin cloud up there so looks overcast. Still pretty cold though at the start of the day anyway... there was actually a bit of light snow at times and in places around the region yesterday. Only very slight though.

Still, we're continuing to do well as we approach the middle of March - and there's more snowfall due this coming week for a nice top-up.
