First Snow!

It's been snowing all morning! (unfortunately, it's turned to rain now in the afternoon.) The first real snow of the season here in Yokohama! It must have snowed at least 2 inches. At lunch time, all the students were outside having snowball fights! Sort of wanted to go and join them, but didn't have any gloves, and in my condition, that probably wouldn't be the best thing to do.

It's really nice living in a place that snows. Not so much that you have to shovel the driveway everyday, but just a little bit, enough to make the ground white and enough to build a small snowman or have the occasional snowball fight or two. It doesn't snow that much in Yokohama, so I don't think I'll be able to build any snowmen or Snoopy out on the balcony, like I did in Germany. *sigh* Maybe just a mini-snowman . . . if the snow doesn't all melt by the time I get home! I better hurry up and go!
