Winter 2012, First Snow

A snow covered street, in front of our house
After putting Fredi to bed, I went downstairs and looked out the window. I let out a sigh when I saw a beautiful white blanket on the ground and on rooftops gleaming in the dark. It was one of the most beautiful snowfall I've witnessed in Japan. The view outside, with the snow in the dark, just gave me a sense of peace and serenity. The snow was still falling, in big little clusters, the kind that is dry and light. In times like this, how I wished the boys were up so we could go outside and throw snowballs at each other.
I grabbed my camera for I HAVE to take photos of the scenery, post them onto Facebook so my family and friends in Singapore and other countries could see what was going on. And here they are, the snow fall at night, and the morning after. Enjoy!

Shit! We forgot to cover our bicycles.

The trees, right outside our door

The morning after: Some snow had melted but it left a frozen ground. If not careful, one could slip, fall and get hurt

Our bicyles still standing, thank goodness!

Time to play and dig some snow

Tip it all off and do it again!

Mummy trying to break the ice and clearing snow off the street: that was my morning workout and it aint light!

You're a great helper Fredi with that small spade!

I enjoy snow too; here in the Buffalo NY area, it keeps snowing one day, raining and melting it the next, then repeating the cycle. Very unusual for us! Normally by this time of year we would have been shoveling daily for weeks.
It's neat to see how the snow flies where you are!
Peace, Mari
Hi Mari, I like snow and feel that it doesn't snow enough here in Tokyo. Wow, shoveling snow every day must be hard work for you! But if you enjoy snow, maybe it's fun too!
