After a very fine day yesterday this morning sees more of a cloudy start. It is though very mild this morning with the thermometer outside telling me it is +2 degrees outside. Where once there was ice on the roadsides all winter, you can now see the roadsides - there has been a fair bit of melt going on over this last week or so and it looks set to continue.

Fine weather is forecast for the weekend in the region.

Nighta at the following resort areas of Shiga Kogen tonight:

- Ichinose Family
- Ichinose Diamond
