Gusty, too, and the snow's wetter than usual so it's sticking to everything. What a night for a bonenkai.

Couldn't sleep much last night, so I stayed up listening to the howling wind and an occasional thunder in Sapporo.

-10 here in Aomori. Wind chill is much lower. Good to finally get some winterlike weather again.

The snow is a bit heavy but being a Canadian I guess I would call this "a normal winter day." Sarge-Hokkaido is a wonderful place in the winter!

"Hokkaido is a wonderful place in the winter"

Yeah, I guess, as long as you're curled up in front of the fireplace with a steaming mug of hot chocolate!
