Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow


Woke up this morning to snow! Isn't it interesting at how the sight of snow can bring out the kid in you. A strange excitement wells up inside at the sight of that first snow. In Tokyo we rarely get snow and if we do it usually doesn't stay around too long. It's now 9:00 and it is still coming down, usually if we get snow it is gone by this time in the morning. Even though it is only a couple of inches and the roads aren't that bad at all just slushy, it is so funny to hear the clackety clack of tire chains. I have been wondering when and if we would get hit with snow seeing as we have had a very cold winter so far, and some parts of Japan have been hit with as much as 4 meters of snow. Enough snow to cover houses in some areas. Well I'm sure it won't be that bad here but it is a nice change of pace it does give enchanting look to the otherwise mundane landscape around my house.
