First snow in Tokyo


Isn't it beautiful? We finally get a nice white winter in the big metropolis.

...

Actually, this picture doesn't come close to reflecting the true nature of this evening's snowfall. To understand what we're experiencing here, imagine very slowly falling snow, very sparsely distributed in the air, looking very much like volcanic ash, drifting slowly to the ground, and vanishing. Canadians would laugh and say "That's not a snowfall!" but I'm happy with it.

Maybe school will be cancelled tomorrow!
