Yesterday, it snowed from early morning to late night here in Tokyo. The weather man said that it has been 45 years since we had this much snow - 27 cm in the middle of the city. It caused quite a bit of havoc - airplanes and public transportations stopped and delayed. I did not go anywhere yesterday, but stayed home.
Today, weather changed completely - warmed up and sunny all day. I braved a long run - on slushy snow.
Due to the nice warm weather, snow melted quite a bit. It will probably be all gone by the end of tomorrow.

Our Toro had a white hat.
Later in the evening - snow accumulation amount was as never seen before for Tokyo.

Amazingly, these plum blossoms were right by the area - spring is getting nearer.

Many children were playing with snow in Momoiharappa Park.
This is a very nice snowman - with a carrot nose and a cucumber mouth with green onion arms.

Great pictures! Wish I was there, I do remember back in 94 and maybe 04 we had a good snow too.
Thank you for your message. I was wrong with my prediction about snow melting. We still have some left on small roads and fields. It was another cold day today.
