Last winter I chickened out and got out of Kyoto a few times with stops in the USA, Cairo, and Malaysia. This winter, I am being brave and staying here the whole winter. It will be my first complete winter in years and years!
All of my apartment windows are opaque, so I don’t see the weather until I open the door to check. This morning I got a nice surprise and a fun ride to the lab. Yay for snow!
Weightless in the World 
I have no experiential idea about snow, so I’m happy to see these photos and appreciate your sharing your Kyoto winter.
I might die if I experience it for the first time, in a foreign land with four seasons, but I always feel excited at the thought of touching those white tiny shreds of winter. 🙂
Thanks for commenting! I’m sure you would love it, just dress appropriately and its fun!
