Greetings, Namaste here!!
Snow! Snow!..and more snow!! What`s it like in your neck of the woods?
Here in Nagoya it`s been snowing all day (thursday), and I would say there`s about 3-5 inches on the ground now in my neighborhood. The snow is supposed to keep commin down through the night and continue tommorow. Looks like we`ll be havin a White Christmas!!!

Well when the 24th rolls around, go outside and look at all the white covering and enjoy the silence and the beauty of it all. I wish Tokyo would get some white stuff.....

though it'd be very beautiful to see white christmas in tokyo, i don't wanna freeze to death, richard.:confused:
as long as i am inside with こたつ&みかん, it's ok to snow.:D
There were people sliding around on the road in front of my office (close to Nagoya station). I couldn`t find my bicycle when I looked for it because it looked like every other bike in the area - an oddly shaped thing covered in powdered sugar.
For a guy from Arizona, this is pretty cool :)
KEEP IT COMING, EVIL SNOW LORD.

I think winter here in Hokkaido is quite lovely. My one beef is the ice-slicked roads. Crossing those slippery things forces you to learn a new style of walking...or die.

DUDE!!! :D
I'm right there with ya! Err... :( I wish I were... I'm in AZ right now... Downtown Tempe... near ASU.
:p 雪が大好きですね?AZは厚いね?:cool:
An ASU guy, huh? I was a Wildcat, myself, but had a bunch of friends that went straight from Central high and Brophy to ASU. Good school.
アリゾナは「暑い」と言ってもなんだか十分表現してないかん じがするけど。。 頭のなかが沸くほど暑い。
Nagoya isn`t much of an improvement over Phoenix/Tempe/Mesa/Scottsdale, etc. in the summer, but it`s nice to have snow in the winter here.

My world was filled with Christmas as I caroled throughout the night as I awaited Santa to arrive.
I sang out of the window in the windest snow
''Frosty the Snowman
Was a jolly happy soul
With a corncob pipe and a button nose
And two eyes made out of coal
Frosty the Snowman
Is a fairytale they say
He was made of snow
But the children know
How he came to life one day
There must have been some magic
In that old silk hat they found
For when they placed it on his head
He began to dance around
Frosty the Snowman
Was alive as he could be
And the children say
He could laugh and play
Just the same as you and me
Frosty the Snowman
Knew the sun was hot that day
So he said let's run
And we'll have some fun
Now before I melt away
Down to the village
With a broomstick in his hand
Running here and there all around the square
Saying catch me if you can
He led them down the streets of town
Right to the traffic cop
And he only paused a moment when
He heard him holler stop
Frosty the Snowman
Had to hurry on his way
But he waved goodbye
Saying don't you cry
I'll be back again some day
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Look at Frosty go
Thumpety thump thump
Thumpety thump thump
Over the hills of snow''
Snow cut off electricity to over 1,000 homes where I live as I dreamed of being by a fireside setting.
Luckily Christmas day brought a white Chritmas to me.The corked bottle emptied as I thought of my plans for the future in Japan.Unfortunately I became a wild wolf and ran out the door and caused havoc in the neighborhood.

Wow that was a lovely song. Im stateside in nj born and raised and have never heard the full song of frosty before. There was no snow here unfortunately we had some rain. So it was more of a wet christmas. I venture even to say a bit warm. How fleeting the holiday seeason is.
i just saw the news and it will get colder again from tomorrow.
sound like it will snow again...
