The last time I was in Japan (Osaka) there was a snow squall and the man I was with from Florida insisted on hunting down a camera so he could take pictures. It was late and we missed the last train back to the hotel and I was pissed.
Is snow that rare in Japan?
Today in Boulder, CO the high was 64°F, or around 18°C. We had our first measurable snow a week ago yesterday, which was around 1/2 inch.
We have had about the nicest autumn I can ever remember this year.
Back on Monday, it was snowing out here on the Coast of VA for the first time that I’ve seen, right around 4pm or so too.
But only for like 20 mins… Or maybe an hour. It didn’t stick. But it was odd as hell to see.
I’d have been pissed too!
It must have been because he was from Florida that he had the snow fit. It does snow in Osaka and Tokyo every year, just a bit.
Other parts of Japan never get snow and other parts have some of the deepest snowfall in the world…
It is white over in Sapporo now but not yet where we are - fields and grass are white but roads are clear still.
It’s snowing! Right now! It just started!!! Right here in Cambridgeshire.
We had a very light sprinkle of snow overnight, which has now turned to rain.
I’ll have to wait for Hell to freeze over first. But I’m good with that. Snow, Yuck!
Actually, the odd flake or two – I’m talking weather phenomenon, not weirdos – has been sighted in the North at the higher elevations, but it never sticks. It did get down to the freezing point in my little mountainous area way back when, heating up again in the daytime. In Loei province in the Northeast, too, up atop Phu Kradung, their big mountain.
Damn! It stopped. Fuh. Barely a dusting. I know the global economy is in the dumper, but please. Can’t we afford a real snowfall here? [ha ha]
Snow here in southern Germany! We’re going sledding later.
