Hatsu-yuki, The FIRST Snow in 2008,Jan 23th

The view in my hometown.

We got some snow this morning. Our two daughters, 2nd and 4th graders of elementary school, found the snow was falling and said in a loud voice, "Look at, look at! It’s snowing ! ",and flied out from the door to go to their school.

Since it was rather warm last winter in Tokyo, this winter is extremely cold for us who got used to the warm winter. We had very hot and long summer last year and we did not need coats in autumn. Actually we didn’t have the season of fall last year ,and real cold winter suddenly came in last December.

Winter is cold. This is no wonder with that fact. But these years we have not experienced the truly cold winter perhaps because of global warming.
I have not adjusted myself this cold winter, so I have bad coughs lately…
