(the wild-set weather made me feel like I was back in Niseko, snowboarding in a snowstorm..)
So, right now outside my workplace window there is a horrible weather pattern raging in full. Northern Japan, near-enough Wakkanai, Sea of Japan-side. My goodness. Over approximately the last two days our news networks have been tracking the comings-on of a low-pressure system from mainland China into the sidling seas. Today, the weather system has come to our town and most of Hokkaido.
The winds are rushing left, right and all about as they did in the midst of winter. I am talking deep winter, like when we had mounds of snow outside that were big enough for for climbing -and then climbing from mound to the top of your house. Mounds as big as houses. But that snow has since melted, for the most part.
This morning we had a foot of fresh snow, slopp-ish powder with a steady wind carrying snow all the morning. This is almost enough to make me want to get back on coffee, caffeine. Maybe I will…
Yesterday, too we had a mail-out weather alert from our consulate in Japan, too. There were warnings of possible flooding and landslides for other parts of Japan. As we continue to endure the brunt of the LPS (low-pressure, yada, yada) -one can only hope (and then keep watching news and tv) that the rest of our fellow Japan-dwellers, too are well given the weather.
Wherever you may be I hope that Spring is bright! Send that brightness our way, too!
Ciao
