2006 November 22 Wednesday.
What a difference one day can make. Yesterday it was warm and rainy, today it was cold and snowy with high winds blowing all the white stuff around in big swirling clouds. We have a saying up here in Hokkaido; "If you don't like the weather right now, wait a few minutes and it will change." It really is the truth. All of my classes for today, were held at my school so I didn't have to go anywhere, if I didn't want to. In fact the only time I set foot outside today, was to walk over to the Seikyo Supermarket at about 20:10 to get some food and drink. That short 3 minute walk, was about enough for today's weather conditions. Not because of the snow, but because of the freezing cold wind that came along with it. If there is no wind at all, a night time walk in the snowy winter wonderland is an amazing experience. Especially if the sky is clear, and you can see the stars and planets. There will be plenty of those evenings coming soon. I am looking forward to it again this year.
