Dreaming of next winter

December 18, 2007

We’ve been spared the terrible winter storm that ravaged eastern Canada and the Maritimes over the past few days.  In fact, we’ve been enjoying a fairly pleasant winter so far.  There’s plenty of snow but the daytime highs have been mostly in the -10 to -15 C range which really isn’t bad at all.   This morning we woke up to a coating of hoar frost on the trees and the sun shone brightly most of the day.  I can appreciate the beauty of a day like this one but still I am not a winter person so it is with great delight that I have been checking the Tokyo weather each day lately!  Daytime highs have been between +5 and +15 C and the days have been mostly sunny!  Apparently, there’s lots of rain in the spring followed by a summer that is very hot and humid but I think I’m going to like winter!
