Snow-saka

Today has the first snow of the winter season here in Osaka. When I woke up in the morining, I checked the weather online, and it said: "snow". Now, the Yahoo weather forcast for my area has been spotty, at best, so when I read that, I was skeptical. Furthermore, the night before, there was a thunderstorm, which usually does not betide snow--- although, living in Baltimore as long as I have, I have witnessed lightning, thunder, and snow simutaneously.

Then, I heard excited shouts, young children voices, "Yuki! Yuki! Yuki ga furu!" (Snow! Snow! It's snowing!)
I went outside to investigate, and, indeed, white flakes dropping gently from the sky.

It's snowing!
