Weather Report

Until yesterday morning, we had gone two weeks without any snow. While it's been cold the whole time, you have to think that no snow is a harbinger of slightly warm weather in the coming weeks. Two years ago in Kyoto I arrived to a surprisingly cold city in late March, so I'm expecting a gradual improvement from this weather to that weather in the next month and a half. As tough as the cold can be at times, I'm getting more and more used to it, and was actually happy to see the snow again yesterday. It hasn't lost that appeal quite yet. It stopped snowing later in the day, but we'll see what this weekend brings. I teach at the school half an hour out into the mountains on Monday, and they usually have a white, fluffy parking lot.
