Snowing




SNOW






Yesterday's weather was snow in Tokyo. This was second time snowing in Tokyo this season. And that was the snow for first time in two years.
Tokyo's winter is cold but it's very rare snowing. So, many trains will stop if heavy snow came to Tokyo.
BUT, yesterday was different. Any trains didn't stop. Only a few numbers of trains delayed but most of them didn't delay. I was wondered about that. But soon I got it.

There are two reasons why most of trains didn't delay.
1. The weather was snow but it was not heavy snow.
According to the announcement of Japan Meteorological Agency, quantity of snow in center of Tokyo was 0cm. This data is about center of Tokyo. Now, I'm living in west side of Tokyo, I mean rural area of Tokyo. So, there was about 5cm. But I think, these were not heavy snow. And these snow disappeared until today's noon.
2. It was not snowing from mid-night or early in the morning.
Most of Japanese will start their one day from about 7 a.m. And this snow has begun to fall from about 7.30 a.m. So, many people walked before the snow being pilled up. And it made road difficult to snow, to pilled up on them, I think.

Anyway, today's weather is really nice and I think this will disappear all snow on the road.
I like snow but I don't want to stay them on the road because it makes us difficult to walk on the road.

The photo on top of this article was taken by me. And I took this photo in my school. My school is in west side of Tokyo too. So, it looks like a snowy district.

Thank you for your reading!
Good day & Peace and Smile!
