Good morning from Shiga Kogen.

Quick early morning report. Sunshine and fine weather today with a real warm up (up to around 8C this afternoon?) and a really big contrast with just a few days ago.

We will probably get sunshine tomorrow too.

But hey, winter isn't giving up just yet: chance of more snow in the first half of next week!

The section of Route 292 connecting the Yokoteyama area of Shiga Kogen with Gunma Prefecture plans to re-open from 10am on Friday 19th April. They are busy working on cutting out the road from the snow now.
