 Even
though for Yonezawa there is not much snow this year, (we are told this
is the least amount of snow fallen since they began taking weather measurements
over 100 years ago), it is more snow than Audrey and I have ever seen!
And yes, those are big snowflakes catching the flash of the camera in the
photo. Click
here or on the photo for more pictures. (Feb. 2000)
***Editor's Note 4/27/2000: Of course, Murphy's Law prevailing, soon after
I published these photos it began snowing almost constantly for several
weeks. Before it all melted this spring, we had and average of 5 feet of
snow on the ground. |
