Tokyo hit by unseasonal snow as low-pressure system develops

Fortunately the weather this coming weekend looks a lot warmer.

It's the final full day of winter. The vernal equinox comes tomorrow at 18:04. Winter is just saying goodbye for now...

Glad this'll be the last spurt of winter. Hate the cold weather.

Excellent powder yesterday in Hokkaido.

Can JT tell us how often it has snowed in Tokyo in March in say the last twenty-five year, to quantify the claim of unseasonality?

Good thing I came South last week

Snow!!!..

You could find the information yourself, easily enough, if you really wanted it.

"This snowfall is particularly notable as it is the first time in five years that Tokyo has experienced snow accumulation in mid-March. The last recorded snowfall in March occurred in 2020, making this event quite rare."

Yep still freezing in Japan-not under water yet lol!

Snow always looks pretty in photos.

In reality, its just cold.

Loved the fact that it finally snowed in Tokyo, even if it was so short. How Tokyo used to be :-)
