It's been snowing quite a bit in Tokyo lately (last night too) so thought we'd take a look at some of snowy Tokyo.

We were having a dry winter (no snow for Christmas), but now its been cold and snowy for the last couple of days.
Although there's snow over there in Tokyo it doesn't seem that cold. Here, its the wind. Windchill always hits you like a wall. It's about -24C right now. Unless I'm goin snowboarding or somethin I'm stayin INSIDE.

"Mon pays ce n'est pas un pays, c'est l'hiver" This is a quote from a well known local poet and singer songwriter, Gilles Vigneault. In english it pretty much mean "My country isn't a country, it winter". Been from Quebec we have really cold winter and lots of snow. We had so much snow this years that most city have an hard time finding place to dump the snow off the road. Also, if it hadn't melted a few time, I'ld probably wouldn't know where to put the snow that we shoveled out of the drive way. With all that said, it truely love winter and I don't really love summer. Cold winter and with lots of snow  will probably be one of the thing i'll miss if I ever move to japan.

 It snowed weeks ago, but it didn't last long. Mostly rain and wet snow most of the time. In our region, we rarely get snow now. Instead we get lot's of rain. Makes me miss the bright yellow summer sun right now=/ Rain+cold cloudy weather= down syndrome -o-

Nope, no snow here. An eternal summer, to be poetic, but to put it simply it's tropical here in Singapore. 

I've always wanted to be able to make snowmen and play with snow. With any luck, I might encounter some next year or something.

I live in the northern end of the Sacramento valley in California we get snow here once every 5-10 or so. Never very much and it doesn't stick around for very long. While we didn't get any this year the city an hour north of here got several inches over the course of three or four storms but again it stick around for long.

Never ask a Canadian if it snows here, you'll just get an essay back. A really depressing and boring essay. But it seems so far that most people in to poll live in warmer areas. But I have half a metre of snow up here, I'm starting to miss summer and wishing it were warm here too. Funny thing is, I prefer winter over spring, spring is WAY too muddy from snow melting and the rain. So I want summer, but don't like the process of getting there, lol.

Snow keeps coming down and sometimes melts every now and then only to be replaced by new fresh deep snow. Heck it was snowing awhile ago here. I know someone who hates it but I like to see the beauty of it when it falls down quietly and calmly, freshness of it.

Where I live in California (South Bay Area...NorCal) it's pretty mild and even though it can get reasonably cold here (like 30F lol) it never snows. It might snow every 25-50 years but not REAL snow, just some flakes that probably melt as soon as they touch the ground.

Looks great! I love snow - its my favourite weather - yes - even more than sunshine!

Everything looks brighter, lighter and cleaner (something the UK needs!), and everywhere just seems more intresting on the senses as we dont get snow that often.
I was hoping it would snow while i were in Tokyo over the new year, but alas, it didnt.

Wish i were there - i'd love to see japan in the snow. It would remind me of the hauntingly beautiful snow scenes in Mamorou Oshii's Patlabor 2 film.

This year has been a banner year for snowfall here.  It's been kind of crazy since it seems people have forgotten how to drive on the stuff though.  

Watching the snow fall is definitely one of the more relaxing things a person can do.  Snowball fights can be fun too.

Tokyo belongs in those parts of the globe where in summer is hot and humid and has snow on winter, same happens on States New England.

Unfortunately it's extremely rare to snow here, last time it snowed was on January 2006 and before that it was 50 or 60 years ago. I've never seen a town or city filled with snow with my own eyes but traveling to other countries in snowy winters might be a little of a problem with the flight plan XD
