Snow seen on Mount Fuji after record absence

I remember as a kid in the 1970s that some winters in Canada the snow came very late, sometimes even after Christmas, leaving us to celebrate a brown holiday. Other years it was snowy for Halloween. My parents and grandparents told stories of the own childhoods, with similar weather. Hot years, years summer hardly came at all. Dry years, wet years when crops failed. That's the weather for you.

Summer was cooler than average in the UK, some days positively cold. Why was Japan so hot?

That's the weather for you.

When a pattern of increasing temperatures is identified there is no merit on calling it weather, it is a difference in climate. This is not a normal variation but record breaking changes never observed since records began.

Still pretty warm here in Osaka, nights a tad cool though

We're cooked, let's be honest.

ok so no drama.

lets move on.

You understand the importance of the phenomenon does not disappears just because snow is finally present, right? the whole point is how long it took this year and what it indicates about the future.

Snow on Mt Fuji! Phew, some real news at last!!!

Visiting our Fujii family grave on the 15th. Nice to have some snow for the pic's.
