Snow in Kakamigahara!
December 19, 2009 Featured, Home, Living in Japan
Yesterday there was a strange little icon on my cell phone. One of the great things about many cell phones in Japan is that they can show you a weather forecast for the next day or so. Mine was showing a snowman. The first thing that ran though my head was “Really? Could it be?”
Since moving from Ontario, I have not had the opportunity to see a great deal of snow before February. Vancouver is just too warm (for snow) in December, and the same is said for Nagoya. All that changed today, though, as a healthy 5cm had fallen overnight, covering all the depressingly empty fields and dirty sidewalks.
Here is the view from the train station this morning:
Hopefully there is a lot more snow where this came from. I’m dreaming of a white Christmas.
