We woke up to an unusual sight this morning - snow! We thought at first it was just rain, but then we realized it was actually snow. It does snow in Tokyo more than it snows in Houston, but it's still unusual. ASIJ is in Chofu, to the west of Tokyo, and they're more likely to get snow out at the school. It snowed pretty much the whole day, until it was time for the kids to come home from school. However, the ground was too warm, so none of it stuck. I tried to take a picture (well, about 20 of them), but the snow just wasn't quite big and fluffy enough to make a decent picture.
The snow, while it looked pretty, was not quite so nice when I set out about 1:00 for my near-daily trek to the grocery store.
Japanese word of the day: yuki (click to hear pronunciation) means "snow"
