On Thursday January 6, 2022 we were greeted to a surprize snowstorm. The event began with some flurries about 1PM; by evening some 4-5 inches of snow covered roadways and sidewalks. A rare event for Tokyo; a wonderful gift for us, particularly Toma who donned his rubber boots and enjoyed romping through the snow. This morning, with a clear blue sky and a warming sun, we continued to enjoy this unexpected winter pleasure.
