First heavy snowfall in Tokyo - Winter 2010

Snowfall is a pretty rare sight around Tokyo. When we heard the news forecast of a 90% chance of snow on Monday night, we got very excited. Coming from a tropical country like Singapore which is always hot and humid, seeing snow fall from the sky was a new experience for the kids.

At around 9pm, snow started. The kids opened the window and touched the snow. It was a really pretty sight.


Snow accumulating on the ground

White and fluffy snow


At 11:30pm


Fluffy snow falling on Japan's ubiquitous umbrella


After 2 hours of snow

Absolutely beautiful. Snow covered ground, garden, trees, rooftop..... It felt like Christmas!!
