Sunny but windy here in East Osaka at 4.30pm

Clouding over in NW Osaka, so we might get a bit of snow early this evening. Fingers crossed.

leading to a possibility of snowfall in Tokyo and Osaka, the agency said.

And yet the agency shows no chance of snow in Tokyo in its forecast over the next week. Strange.

Rough sledding for the homeless.

Just got SUPER windy here in Minato, Tokyo!

A friend from Aomori sends us beautiful snowscapes. The homeless will suffer tonight. Hyogo we have a powerful wind and snow. Shutters closed for the night. Hope we don't lose power.

@ Patrick, I was just thinking the same thing! Crazy windy, right out of the blue!

Here in rural Kyoto we have blizzard conditions, the worse I have seen in 20 years

Heavy snow this evening Kochi, all my shopping and essentials have been delivered.

It is the freeze overnight that could become treacherous under foot.

Watch the waterpipes. We open a tap to a slow drip.

Just cold and windy here in in Hachimanyama Setagaya

At least the weather in the winter is wintry;as it should be.

Blizzard conditions here in Toyama. Digging the car out in the morning won’t be fun

I’d be taking the day off tomorrow if my area was heavily snowed on but there’ll be people trying to ignore the conditions and running into problems

We are in a wind and heavy rain advisory for two days

… and here I was thinking that Tokyo would be all white from today… ( -_- ); … maybe from tomorrow or Thursday…; I wanna see some snow…

(stay safe, everyone!)

...not only flights, but trains have stopped, and highways are closed. Not bc of heavy snow, but more as a "precaution", but esp with the trains this is becoming more of a "not in my backyard" mentality I got the feeling. Meaning they don't want to deal with stress of delayments, short-notice changes etc, and just close up everything, no matter how much more inconvenient it gets for all regular users.

Been out with one of my chums, double plus fun. Very chilly and a few snowflakes. Nothing o worry about for us Osaka chaps.

Took the subway train after I met him and my friend earlier landed at Kansai and took Nankai to Namba with no issues.

Welcome snow!!!..

Come to Tokyo, make me happy!!!..

Japan has the best winter in the world!!!..

Japan has the best winter in the world!!!..

For me, I could only say that in reference to Okinawa.

Precisely why I have a ticket to Thailand and not Japan.

See you in July on the beach in Okinawa

Wintry weather is hitting North America big time too. Stay safe, everyone.

Tomorrow will just be travelling by subway, expect that will all be working.

Thank GOD I decided to leave the motorcycle and commute by car yesterday.

8pm and I witnessed multiple mini tornadoes wreaking havoc in Tokyo roads, every muscle focused on keeping the car under control. Everyone was doing 20km/h while crossing a big bridge, just crazy
