Wow! Snow…? I woke up this morning to a surprise snow storm. Or maybe it was just a surpise to me…To be fair, I hadn’t heard the weather forecast, so maybe everyone else knew about it. But I doubt it, because I think I would have heard about it from someone.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera with me this morning, when the snow was fresh on the streets. I took a few pictures later in the afternoon on the way to the store, but by that time, the streets were mostly cleared–except for a slushy mess that could be pretty slick by tomorrow morning. (Luckily, I’m off in the morning!)

Here are the snow pictures I promised. I took these near Ichigaya Station, in Tokyo, after my morning class. There’s a Tully’s that I go to sometimes. I had coffee and read for a while. Then, when it was getting close to time to go to my next lesson, I took a few pictures of the small playground and shrine by the coffee shop.

It was snowing and pretty cold, so I didn’t stay out too long, but I managed to take a few shots. Can you believe I had been meaning to go up and look a at the shrine for a long time, but I never did until the day it was snowing? Needless to say, I plan on going back again, and taking more pictures.

But here are a few I took at the height of the snowstorm. (If you can call it that!)
