heaviest snow in 16 years in Tokyo

Yesterday it was such a beautiful day
that I could not believe “a heavy snow warning for Tokyo”
issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency.

This morning I was surprised to find the snow was coming
down heavily.

The Agency makes an accurate forecast these days.

Last evening when I went to a supermarket, many vegetables,
fish or meat were sold out.

This morning I went to another supermarket to get groceries.
I walked about 25 minutes along the snowy road.



A little girl was making a snowman in the parking lot.



On the way back to my apartment I walked along
Tamagawa-josui.



(at 2:30pm, from my room)


NHK said 450 people were injured in snow-related
accidents in the Kanto district.

We'll have further snowfall during the night and
early tomorrow.

It's now blowing hard.

I'm afraid there will be more snow-related accidents.

Let's watch our step!

This is a snow-rabbit made by koharu, my granddaughter.
It has ears of 枇杷の葉 and a tail of 南天の枝.
