Snow! Tokyo doesn’t get


Snow!

Tokyo doesn’t get much snow. Whether it’s the normal climate or global warming or the city’s “heat island effect” I’m not sure, but my last few winters have been nearly snowless.

So a trip to Chicago in winter is a treat. When it began snowing here, I was delighted. By morning we had about 5 centimeters on the ground. Not a blizzard by any means, but it made a respectable white covering on cars, rooves and roads.

Most of the snow has been trodden into a brown mush, but on the curb outside a shop, someone managed a snowman complete with a carrot nose. Posted by kuri at December 09, 2000 08:51 AM
