The sun is out this morning here in Shiga Kogen. Clear blue skies and sunshine.

And the snow of the previous days means that it should be a really good morning to be out there.

The new snow I am posting this morning is from yesterday since I posted the last report, there was no more overnight.

Not much snow on the forecast now, perhaps a bit tomorrow night, so we might get a few sprinklings at times between the sunny skies that are likely in the coming week. Temperatures may rise a bit but happily it doesn't look like there's a big warm-up due just yet.

Keep cold please!
