It is snowing in Tokyo today. It is the first time in this winter to have this much snow in Tokyo. In the morning, the snow contained lots of water so it did not accumulate on the ground. It has now changed to more like a real snow... It is very cold too, with the maximum day time temperature of 2 degrees celcius.
Japan Meteorogical Agency has issued a snow warning, which is generally issued when the Agency expects more than 5 cm of snow on the ground in Tokyo. (In more snowy regions where people are accustomed to much snow and where the infrastructure is well equipped, the warning may be issues for more than 40 cm of snow.) When I was a child, such snow occured perhpas a few times a year, but in recent years, it became less and less frequent and occurs once in a few years.
Today is the national foundation day, a public holiday in Japan, so is the start of a long weekend. Unfortunately, snow is expected to last until tomorrow, so I'm going to be at home most of the weekend...
