Good morning from Shiga Kogen.

A dusting of snow overnight as temperatures dropped but by now the sun is out and there is a lot of blue sky once again.

Next report due early next week... and I may well have some weekend snowfall to report. If you are planning on being here for the weekend, come prepared for potential snowfall and colder conditions!

The section of Route 292 between Shiga Kogen and Kusatsu is still closed with a planned re-opening at 10am on Friday 20th April.
