Well, folks, I think it is fair to say that Japan clicked into 'spring' early this year and this last week we have been enjoying lots of blue skies and sunshine over the region. It has been getting rather warm too. Warmer than we would like as the snow has been melting - getting to almost 20 degrees in some not too distant areas.

It's kind of hard to believe but some forecasts are saying we might get some snow tonight! Hmmmm.

Whatever happens on that score, more sun is forecast tomorrow and over the weekend.

Still. There's still a fair amount of snow around on the courses.

A number of the resort areas of Shiga Kogen close for the season at the end of Sunday.
